5A Centennial Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances across Friday and Saturday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Joe Steiner Delivers Best Performance of Season
Eaglecrest was led to victory by Joe Steiner, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Saturday. Steiner threw for 296 yards and five touchdowns, and also rushed for 72 yards and two touchdowns.
Steiner must have Smoky Hill's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. When Steiner last faced the Buffaloes back in October of 2023, he threw for 282 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 12.3 yards per attempt, and also rushed for 52 yards on only five carries.

Andrew Smart Crosses Big Stat Threshold
Arapahoe was led to victory by Andrew Smart, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Smart picked up 162 receiving yards and three touchdowns. He's now once again averaging 100+ receiving yards (100.2) per game. He was no stranger to the big play, cutting upfield on a catch that went for 52 yards.
Smart and Arapahoe will face off against Cherry Creek at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday. The Warriors had to take a loss when they last met the Bruins, but Smart had little to do with the loss: he picked up 111 receiving yards and a touchdown. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

Caleb Llamas' Big Game Can't Quite Lead Grandview over Arapahoe
Grandview was sadly handed a defeat on Friday, but Caleb Llamas did his best to prevent it. Llamas turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 117 yards and a touchdown on only 12 carries. His longest rush was for an impressive 59 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
For the season, Llamas has run in 5 touchdowns while averaging 78.2 rushing yards per game.
