3A Pikes Peak 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!
Caeden Herrera Delivers Best Performance of Season
Pueblo South was led to victory by Caeden Herrera, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Herrera threw for 230 yards and four touchdowns, and also rushed for 54 yards and a touchdown on only six carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
If history really does repeat itself, Herrera might just drop another big game when he faces off against Pueblo Centennial on Thursday. Herrera threw for 76 yards and four touchdowns while completing 75% of his passes, and also rushed for 30 yards the last time he and the Bulldogs duked it out back in October of 2023.

Lewis-Palmer Gets a Boost from Moore in 58-27 Victory
Lewis-Palmer's three-game losing streak is now nothing but a memory thanks in part to Gregory Moore. Moore was dynamite on Friday, rushing for 147 yards and two touchdowns on only 11 carries. His longest rush was for an impressive 50 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
This season, Moore has run in those 2 touchdowns while averaging 74.8 rushing yards per game.
