3A West Metro Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances in games played on Thursday and Friday (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Benson White Turns in Season-Best Effort
On Thursday, Conifer got the W thanks in part to Benson White playing the best football he has all season. White rushed for 144 yards and three touchdowns on only five carries, and also threw for 165 yards and two touchdowns. His longest rush was for an impressive 59 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
On the season, White has thrown 17 touchdowns (and and only 2 picks) while averaging 193.4 passing yards per game.

Isaac Mccune Goes Supernova in Wheat Ridge Defeat
