3A Pikes Peak 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!
A Season-Best Performance from Caeden Herrera Leads Pueblo South over Palmer
Pueblo South was led to victory by Caeden Herrera, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Herrera threw for 230 yards and four touchdowns, and also rushed for 54 yards and a touchdown on only six carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
Herrera is probably looking forward to his next game, a road matchup against Pueblo Centennial on Thursday. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Herrera saw the Bulldogs), he threw for 76 yards and four touchdowns while completing 75% of his passes, and also rushed for 30 yards.

Moore Came Up Big in Lewis-Palmer's 58-27 Win
Gregory Moore helped snap Lewis-Palmer's three-game losing streak. Harrison had no answer to Moore on Friday as he rushed for 147 yards and two touchdowns on only 11 carries. Moore's longest rush was for an impressive 50 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
On the year, Moore has run in those 2 touchdowns while averaging 74.8 rushing yards per game.
