Delta League Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances in games played from last Wednesday through Monday (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
A Season-Best Performance from Kate Myers Leads Pleasant Grove over Cosumnes Oaks
On Thursday, Pleasant Grove got the W thanks in part to Kate Myers playing the best football she has all season. Myers rushed for 178 yards and two touchdowns on only ten carries, and also threw for 94 yards and three touchdowns, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. She didn't just play on offense: he also made three total tackles and defended three passes in addition to snagging an interception.
Myers must have Cosumnes Oaks's number; she was a force to be reckoned with the last time she faced them too. When Myers last faced the Wolfpack on October 1st, she threw for 188 yards and five touchdowns while completing 73.7% of her passes, and also rushed for 68 yards on only five carries.
