5A South Metro 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!
Austyn Modrzewski's Big Game Leads Mountain Vista over Thunderridge
Mountain Vista picked up their seventh consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Austyn Modrzewski. Modrzewski did his part (and then some), throwing for 367 yards and six touchdowns while completing 80% of his passes for the 'W'. He is on a roll when it comes to passing touchdowns, as he's now passed for three or more in the last nine games he's played dating back to last season.
Unfortunately for ThunderRidge, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Modrzewski. When Modrzewski last faced the Grizzlies back in September of 2023, he threw for 451 yards and five touchdowns while completing 81.8% of his passes.

Tyler Meyer Turns in Season-Best Effort
Rock Canyon was led to victory by Tyler Meyer, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Saturday. Meyer's rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his seventh straight game with at least 106 rushing yards.
Meyer and Rock Canyon will head out on the road to take on Castle View at 6:30 p.m. on Friday. Meyer will face off against Aaron Perry, the Sabercats' star rusher. With so much talent on the field, fans are surely in for an exciting game. The only thing left to see is who brings home the W.
