1A - North 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!
Cameron Wahlquist Earns League's Top Spot
Starting off the list is North Sevier's Cameron Wahlquist, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Wahlquist produced his best game of the campaign on Friday: he picked up 81 receiving yards and a touchdown. He really caught the secondary sleeping when he pulled down a catch that went for 81 yards.
The win snapped North Sevier's losing streak at three games and leaves them with a 3-6 record. Wahlquist and North Sevier will challenge Parowan at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

While Duchesne might've come up empty on Friday, Kasen Crum wasn't going down without a fight. Despite the defeat, Crum was still balling out as he rushed for 85 yards.
Duchesne moved to 5-4 with that loss, which also ended their four-game winning streak. Crum and Duchesne will take on North Summit at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday.

Goodliffe Made His Presence Known in Duchesne's 36-20 Defeat
Keeping Crum company is Nashden Goodliffe, a fellow Duchesne player. He rushed for 68 yards and a touchdown, and also threw for 102 yards and two touchdowns.
For the season, Goodliffe has thrown 9 touchdowns while averaging 123.8 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 10.64 passer rating per game. This year he is averaging 94.59 passer rating.

Jeshaun Johnson Makes It Three for Duchesne
Another Duchesne player making an appearance on this list is Jeshaun Johnson. He picked up 51 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
On the season, Johnson has caught 5 touchdowns while averaging 56.4 receiving yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he had one receiving touchdown.

Rylan Frischknecht Turns in Season-Best Effort
On Friday, North Sevier got the W thanks in part to Rylan Frischknecht playing the best football he has all season. Frischknecht threw for 209 yards and a touchdown, good enough to also set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
For the season, Frischknecht has thrown 11 touchdowns (and and only 2 picks) while averaging 127 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 17.58 passer rating per game. This year he is averaging 84.13 passer rating.
