6A District 3 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!
Zaiden Davis' Big Game Leads Centennial over Alamogordo
Zaiden Davis's big game helped extend Centennial's winning streak to six on Thursday. Alamogordo had no answer to Davis as he rushed for 175 yards and four touchdowns on only five carries, and also threw for 259 yards and three touchdowns while completing 81% of his passes. Davis' longest rush was for an impressive 63 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
Alamogordo had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Davis it was a similar story. When Davis last faced the Tigers back in October of 2023, he rushed for 112 yards and two touchdowns on only seven carries, and also threw for 136 yards and two touchdowns on only eight passes.

Nathanael Best Turns in Season-Best Performance
On Thursday, Alamogordo had to settle for second even though Nathanael Best put up the best numbers he has all season. Best's rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his fourth straight game with at least 100 rushing yards dating back to last season.
Best and Alamogordo will head out on the road to challenge Carlsbad at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Best will face off against Kason Perez, the Cavemen/Cavegirls' star quarterback. So who wins this QB-duel? There's only one way to know for sure.

A Season-Best Performance from Dylan Hergenreder Leads Alamogordo over Centennial
Sadly, Dylan Hergenreder posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Alamogordo over Centennial on Thursday. Hergenreder rushed for 123 yards and a touchdown. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 80-yard run.
Hergenreder and Alamogordo will take on Carlsbad at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The game will pit Hergenreder up against the Cavemen/Cavegirls' star rusher Brock Wright. With so much talent on the field, fans are surely in for an exciting game. The only thing left to see is who brings home the W.
