5A Front Range - South Top Player Performances of the Week
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!
Andrew Gardner Delivers Best Effort of Season
On Friday, Legacy got the W thanks in part to Andrew Gardner playing the best football he has all season. Gardner threw for 184 yards and three touchdowns, and also rushed for 96 yards and a touchdown on only nine carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. The bulk of those rushing yards came from one huge play: a run that gained an incredible 50 yards.
For the season, Gardner has thrown 13 touchdowns while averaging 182.5 passing yards per game.
