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!
Rantz Came Up Big in Dolores' 30-23 Loss
Starting off the list is Dolores's Michael Rantz, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Rantz picked up 73 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 53 yards and a touchdown on only seven carries. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making 13 total tackles and defending two passes in addition to snagging an interception.
Dolores' defeat was their sixth straight on the road dating back to last season, which dropped their record down to 2-4. Rantz and Dolores will have a little extra prep time after the loss as they won't be playing again for a while. They'll take on Dove Creek at 7:00 p.m. on October 18th.
