Logan Ginter Earns League's Top Spot
Starting off the list is Clear Creek's Logan Ginter, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Ginter picked up two sacks and made seven total tackles. He didn't just play on offense: he also picked up two sacks and made seven total tackles.
On the season, Ginter has averaged 6.3 total tackles per game and for the season has 4 sacks. It gets even more impressive: after six games last season, he was only averaging 30.17 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 119.83 rushing yards.

Drew Starkey Delivers Best Effort of Season
On Friday, Gilpin County got the W thanks in part to Drew Starkey playing the best football he has all season. Starkey rushed for 161 yards and three touchdowns. The performance once again pushed his average rushing yardage north of 100 yards per game (100.2). Those 161 rushing yards gave him a new career-high.
On the year, Starkey has averaged 22.8 passing yards per game.
Gamescore: 57.10
Front Range Christian had to settle for second on Friday, but Torin Brautigam sure wasn't going down easily. Brautigam was unstoppable, picking up 58 receiving yards and a touchdown.
For the year, Brautigam has caught 3 touchdowns while averaging 28.8 receiving yards per game.
Gamescore: 44.88
While Belleview Christian might've come up empty on Friday, Ryan Reyes wasn't going down without a fight. Despite the loss, Reyes was still balling out as he made nine total tackles and defended a pass. He got the majority of those rushing yards when he took off on a run that went for an incredible 61 yards.
If history really does repeat itself, Reyes might just drop another big game when he faces off against Gilpin County on Saturday. When Reyes last faced the Eagles back in October of 2023, he picked up 1.5 sacks, made 23 total tackles, and defended a pass.
