Delta League Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances from Thursday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Kate Myers' Big Game Leads Pleasant Grove over Monterey Trail
Pleasant Grove picked up their tenth consecutive win on Thursday thanks in part to Kate Myers. Myers was dynamite, rushing for 138 yards and a touchdown on only seven carries, while also throwing for 45 yards and two touchdowns. Her longest rush was for an impressive 60 yards, which helps to explain her lofty yards per carry total.
If history really does repeat itself, Myers might just drop another big game when she faces off against Sheldon on Thursday. Back in September (the last time Myers saw the Huskies), she threw for 113 yards and four touchdowns, and also rushed for 112 yards and a touchdown on only six carries.

Aletha Singleton Dazzles in Franklin Win
