3A Special District 5 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!
Cascade Christian Gets a Boost from Farmer in 42-7 Win
Starting off the list is Cascade Christian's Deryk Farmer, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Farmer threw for 210 yards and three touchdowns on only 18 passes, and also rushed for 37 yards and a touchdown.
This year, Farmer has thrown 7 touchdowns while averaging 140.5 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 2.17 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 63.67 rushing yards.

Caleb Scaglione Makes It Two for Cascade Christian
Keeping Farmer company is Caleb Scaglione, a fellow Cascade Christian player. He picked up 107 receiving yards and two touchdowns, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground. He continues to roll, besting his previous point total in each of the last three games he's played.
Phoenix had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Scaglione it was a similar story. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Scaglione saw the Pirates), he rushed for 104 yards and two touchdowns on only six carries.
