Tradon Bessinger Goes Supernova in Davis Win
Starting off the list is Davis's Tradon Bessinger, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Bessinger threw for 258 yards and three touchdowns while completing 77.3% of his passes, and also rushed for 32 yards and two touchdowns. The dominant performance gave him a new career-high in rushing yards.
Bessinger might have his next game, a home matchup with Mountain Ridge, circled on his calendar. Back in August (the last time Bessinger saw the Sentinels), he threw for 425 yards and three touchdowns while completing 72.7% of his passes.

Afu Fiefia and Co. Win Fourth in a Row
Afu Fiefia's big game helped extend Farmington's winning streak to four on Wednesday. Fiefia was unstoppable, picking up nine receiving yards.
