6A Region 1 Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances from Wednesday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Tradon Bessinger Dazzles in Davis Victory
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.
If the past is any indication, Bessinger could be in store for another big game when he takes on Mountain Ridge on Friday. When Bessinger last faced the Sentinels back in August, he threw for 425 yards and three touchdowns while completing 72.7% of his passes.

Sparrow Came Up Big in Davis' 49-10 Victory
Another Davis player making an appearance on this list is Bode Sparrow. He picked up 70 receiving yards and two touchdowns. He is on a roll when it comes to receiving touchdowns, as he's now hauled in two or more in the last three games he's played dating back to last season.
For the season, Sparrow has caught 15 touchdowns while averaging 80 receiving yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after ten games last season, he had nine receiving touchdowns.

Afu Fiefia and Co. Win Fourth in a Row
Farmington picked up their fourth consecutive win on Wednesday thanks in part to Afu Fiefia. Fremont had no answer to Fiefia as he picked up nine receiving yards.
Farmington is on a roll lately: they've won five of their last six games, which provided a massive bump to their 5-5 record this season. Fiefia and Farmington will get to enjoy the win for a while: their next game is against American Fork at 6:00 p.m. on November 1st.

Moa Made His Presence Known in Fremont's 21-14 Defeat
Fremont had to settle for second on Wednesday, but Salesi Moa sure wasn't going down easily. Moa was unstoppable, picking up 68 receiving yards and two touchdowns. He didn't just play on offense: he also made seven total tackles and defended a pass.
The loss snapped Fremont's winning streak at seven games and leaves them with a 7-3 record. Moa and Fremont will have a little extra prep time after the defeat as they won't be playing again for a while. They'll take on Syracuse at 4:00 p.m. on November 1st.
