5A Southern 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!
Ryken Banks Turns in Season-Best Performance
On Saturday, Legend got the W thanks in part to Ryken Banks playing the best football he has all season. Banks rushed for 150 yards and a touchdown on only 12 carries, and also picked up 41 receiving yards and a touchdown. His longest rush was for an impressive 52 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
The win (which was Legend's third in a row) raised their record to 5-1. Banks and Legend will have some time to savor their victory since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Fountain-Fort Carson at 7:00 p.m. on October 18th.

Nolan Case produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Douglas County to the win on Friday. Case's receiving production has been exceptional recently as that marked his third straight game with at least 112 receiving yards. He also posted 169 receiving yards, which is notable because Douglas County is undefeated when he posts at least 80 receiving yards, but 1-2 otherwise.

Angus Garvey continued his hot streak on Saturday by dropping his 11th-straight game (dating back to last season) with at least five total tackles. He picked up a sack and made 11 total tackles (4.0 for loss).
This is the second loss in a row for Chaparral and nudges their season record down to 2-4. Garvey and Chaparral will have a little extra prep time after the loss as they won't be playing again for a while. They'll take on Pine Creek at 7:00 p.m. on October 18th.
