5A Central Valley Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances from Friday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Tristan Bacon's Big Game Leads Kellis over West Point
Starting off the list is Kellis's Tristan Bacon, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Bacon rushed for 106 yards and two touchdowns on only six carries, and also picked up 30 receiving yards and a touchdown. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making eight total tackles (0.5 for loss) and defending a pass.
Kellis' win was their eighth straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 6-1. Bacon and Kellis will take on Paradise Valley at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Grant Guidry Dazzles in Westview Victory
Winning always takes teamwork, but on Friday Grant Guidry stepped things up a notch to give Westview the 'W'. Nobody could stop Guidry as he threw for 302 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 12.6 yards per attempt.
Westview is on a roll lately: they've won four of their last five games, which provided a nice bump to their 4-3 record this season. They and Cibola are set to duel on Friday.

Ronald Coty Iii Makes It Two for Kellis
The second Kellis player making an appearance here is Ronald Coty Iii, and for good reason. He threw for 119 yards and four touchdowns, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground.
If history really does repeat itself, Coty Iii might just drop another big game when he faces off against Paradise Valley on Thursday. Coty Iii rushed for 83 yards and three touchdowns, and also threw for 35 yards and a touchdown the last time he and the Trojans duked it out back in October of 2023.
