5A South Metro Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances across Friday and Saturday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Austyn Modrzewski Dazzles in Mountain Vista Victory
Mountain Vista picked up their seventh consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Austyn Modrzewski. Modrzewski did his part (and then some), throwing for 367 yards and six touchdowns while completing 80% of his passes for the 'W'. He is on a roll when it comes to passing touchdowns, as he's now passed for three or more in the last nine games he's played dating back to last season.
ThunderRidge's probably not too fond of Modrzewski given he always seems to get the better of them. Modrzewski threw for 451 yards and five touchdowns while completing 81.8% of his passes the last time he and the Grizzlies duked it out back in September of 2023.
