6A Region 1 Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances from Wednesday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Tradon Bessinger Delivers Electric Effort Vs Syracuse
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. The dominant performance gave him a new career-high in rushing yards.
If the past is any indication, Bessinger could be in store for another big game when he takes on Mountain Ridge on Friday. Back in August (the last time Bessinger saw the Sentinels), he threw for 425 yards and three touchdowns while completing 72.7% of his passes.

On the season, 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 was instrumental in extending Farmington's winning streak to four on Wednesday. Nobody could stop Fiefia as he picked up nine receiving yards.

Fremont was sadly handed a defeat on Wednesday, but Salesi Moa did his best to prevent it. Moa was unstoppable, picking 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.
