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. Those 32 rushing yards gave him a new career-high.
Bessinger might have his next game, a home matchup with Mountain Ridge, circled on his calendar. 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 Posts Huge Game in 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.
On the year, Sparrow has caught 15 touchdowns while averaging 80 receiving yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he had nine receiving touchdowns.

Farmington Wins Fourth-Straight Thanks to Afu Fiefia
Afu Fiefia's big game helped extend Farmington's winning streak to four on Wednesday. Fiefia was dynamite, picking up nine receiving yards.
Farmington is on a roll lately: they've won five of their last six matches, which provided a massive bump to their 5-5 record this season. Fiefia and Farmington will have some time to savor their victory since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on American Fork at 6:00 p.m. on November 1st.

Fremont Gets a Boost from Moa in 21-14 Defeat
While Fremont might've come up empty on Wednesday, Salesi Moa wasn't going down without a fight. Despite the defeat, Moa was still balling out as he picked up 68 receiving yards and two touchdowns. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making seven total tackles and defending a pass.
With the loss, Fremont broke their seven-game winning streak and moved their record to 7-3. 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.
