1A - South Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances in games played on Thursday and Friday (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Hayden Gubler Goes Supernova in Kanab Victory
Starting off the list is Kanab's Hayden Gubler, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Gubler rushed for 179 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 9.4 yards per carry. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making five total tackles (1.0 for loss) and defending two passes.
Gubler is probably looking forward to his next game, a road matchup against Millard on Friday. Gubler rushed for 87 yards and three touchdowns on only ten carries the last time he and the Eagles duked it out back in September.

Big Game from Bettridge As Parowan Fell 20-19
Parowan was sadly handed a defeat on Friday, but Hunter Bettridge did his best to prevent it. Nobody could stop Bettridge as he rushed for 88 yards and two touchdowns, and also threw for 134 yards and a touchdown.
Parowan's loss was their tenth straight on the road dating back to last season, which dropped their record down to 2-8. Bettridge and Parowan will face off against Enterprise at 6:00 p.m. on Friday.
Gamescore: 36.38
While Milford might've come up empty on Friday, Judd Netto wasn't going down without a fight. Netto was dynamite, rushing for 37 yards.
Netto and Milford will have a little extra prep time after the defeat as they won't be playing again for a while. They'll take on Duchesne at 6:00 p.m. on November 1st. The matchup will pit Netto up against the Eagles' star running back Kasen Crum. Will the game be decided in the trenches? We'll have our answer very soon.

Rustyn Mackelprang Delivers Best Performance of Season

For the year, Mackelprang has averaged 6.3 total tackles per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after ten games last season, he was only averaging 2.6 total tackles per game.
