5A High Country Top Player Performances of the Week
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!
Ryder Scheibe Turns in Season-Best Effort
Emmett was led to victory by Ryder Scheibe, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Scheibe rushed for 251 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 14.8 yards per carry, and also threw for 101 yards , good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He was no stranger to the big play, taking off on a dash that went for 68 yards.
For the year, Scheibe has thrown 12 touchdowns while averaging 121.9 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 45.38 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 85.63 rushing yards.

Ryker Good Sets Career High in Rushing Yards
Nampa came up short on Friday despite Ryker Good delivering his best game to date. Good rushed for 255 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 13.4 yards per carry, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. That high mark didn't come from nowhere: he has now rushed for 132 or more in the last three games he's played.
On the season, Good has run in 6 touchdowns while averaging 98.2 rushing yards per game.

Carson Came Up Big in Vallivue's 42-0 Win
Winning always takes teamwork, but on Friday Onix Carson stepped things up a notch to give Vallivue the 'W'. Columbia had no answer to Carson as he rushed for 162 yards and a touchdown while picking up 9.0 yards per carry.
Columbia had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Carson it was a similar story. When Carson last faced the Wildcats back in September of 2023, he rushed for 218 yards on only 12 carries, and also caught a touchdown.

For the season, Moore has thrown 12 touchdowns while averaging 115.4 passing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after seven games last season, he had four passing touchdowns.
