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 Effort Vs La Veta
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 141 yards and three touchdowns on only seven carries, and also picked up 82 receiving yards and two touchdowns. His longest rush was for an impressive 66 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
Cranson must have La Veta's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Cranson rushed for 314 yards and six touchdowns while picking up 18.5 yards per carry the last time he and the Redhawks duked it out back in October of 2023.

Brett Kendall Turns in Another Game with at Least 107 Rushing Yards
Brett Kendall continued his hot streak on Friday by dropping his fourth-straight game (dating back to last season) with at least 107 rushing yards. He threw for 308 yards and four touchdowns, and also rushed for 120 yards and two touchdowns on only 15 carries. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making six total tackles (2.0 for loss) and defending a pass.
Sierra Grande had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Kendall it was a similar story. Kendall rushed for 288 yards and five touchdowns while picking up 12.0 yards per carry, and also threw for 112 yards and two touchdowns the last time he and the Panthers duked it out back in October of 2023.
