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!
Trey Bauer Delivers Best Performance of Season
Sadly, Trey Bauer posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Horseshoe Bend over Salmon River on Friday. Bauer rushed for 251 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 9.7 yards per carry. He showed off some serious burst, cutting through the defense on one rush that went for 61 yards.
Horseshoe Bend is on a five-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 1-5. Bauer will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant performance when he faces off against Tri-Valley on Friday.
