A-6 Southwest (6 Man) 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!
Kolter Cranson's Big Game Can't Quite Lead Branson/Kim over Sierra Grande
Starting off the list is Branson/Kim's Kolter Cranson, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Cranson rushed for 268 yards and five touchdowns while picking up 7.1 yards per carry. That's the most rushing yards he has posted since back in October of 2023.
Sierra Grande had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Cranson it was a similar story. When Cranson last faced the Panthers back in September of 2023, he rushed for 223 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 11.7 yards per carry, and also picked up 57 receiving yards and a touchdown.

Sierra Grande Wins Sixth-Straight Thanks to Jadyn Martinez
Jadyn Martinez's big game helped extend Sierra Grande's winning streak to six on Friday. Martinez was dynamite, picking up 111 receiving yards and four touchdowns. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making 17 total tackles (1.0 for loss) and defending a pass in addition to snagging an interception.
Sierra Grande pushed their record up to 6-0 with the victory, which was their third straight at home. Martinez and Sierra Grande have the luxury of staying home for another week and will welcome Cotopaxi at 6:00 p.m. on Saturday.

For the season, Kent has run in 3 touchdowns while averaging 72.8 rushing yards per game.

Kent Made His Presence Known in La Veta's 60-12 Win
Another La Veta player making an appearance on this list is Kaydyn Kent. He picked up 87 receiving yards and two touchdowns, and also punched in a rushing score. He is becoming a predictor of La Veta's success: when he posts at least two receiving touchdowns the team is 2-1 (and 0-3 when he doesn't).
