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 Delivers Electric Performance Vs 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's probably not too fond of Cranson given he always seems to get the better of them. Cranson 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 the last time he and the Panthers duked it out back in September of 2023.

Jadyn Martinez and Co. Win Sixth in a Row
Jadyn Martinez was instrumental in extending Sierra Grande's winning streak to six on Friday. Branson/Kim had no answer to Martinez as he picked up 111 receiving yards and four touchdowns. Martinez 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's win was their third straight at home, which pushed their record up to 6-0. Martinez and Sierra Grande will play host again on Saturday to welcome Cotopaxi, where kickoff is scheduled at 6:00 p.m.

Sunny Kent Turns in Season-Best Performance
La Veta was led to victory by Sunny Kent, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Saturday. Kent rushed for 185 yards and two touchdowns on only seven carries, and also caught a touchdown. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 76-yard run.
On the season, Kent has run in 3 touchdowns while averaging 72.8 rushing yards per game.

Sierra Grande Wins Sixth-Straight Thanks to Aron Ojeda
Aron Ojeda was instrumental in extending Sierra Grande's winning streak to six on Friday. Ojeda turned in nothing short of a gem, throwing for 150 yards and six touchdowns on only 14 passes, while also rushing for 67 yards and a touchdown on only eight carries.
This year, Ojeda has thrown 27 touchdowns while averaging 191.2 passing yards per game.

Kent Posts Huge Game in 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).
This year, Kent has caught 8 touchdowns while averaging 55.2 receiving yards per game.
