3A West Metro 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!
Isaac Mccune Goes Supernova in Wheat Ridge Victory
Starting off the list is Wheat Ridge's Isaac Mccune, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Mccune threw for 325 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 13.5 yards per attempt, and also rushed for 41 yards.
Mccune and Wheat Ridge will be playing at home against Evergreen at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. The contest will pit Mccune up against the Cougars' star quarterback Josh Bittner. With so much talent on the field, fans are surely in for an exciting game. The only thing left to see is who brings home the W.

Bennett Wilkes Makes It Two for Wheat Ridge
Another Wheat Ridge player making an appearance on this list is Bennett Wilkes. He picked up 137 receiving yards and two touchdowns. He didn't just play on offense: he also made four total tackles and defended a pass in addition to snagging two interceptions.
Skyview had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Wilkes it was a similar story. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Wilkes saw the Wolverines), he picked up 125 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 40 yards and a touchdown.

Conifer Wins Third-Straight Thanks to Benson White
Benson White's big game helped extend Conifer's winning streak to three on Friday. Summit had no answer to White as he threw for 252 yards and four touchdowns, and also punched in a rushing score.
Conifer pushed their record up to 6-2 with the victory, which was their third straight at home. White and Conifer will host Green Mountain at 4:00 p.m. on Friday.

Drew Contreras Delivers Best Effort of Season
On Thursday, Green Mountain got the W thanks in part to Drew Contreras playing the best football he has all season. Contreras rushed for 116 yards and a touchdown on only six carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 94-yard run.
Evergreen's probably not too fond of Contreras given he always seems to get the better of them. When Contreras last faced the Cougars back in October of 2023, he rushed for 53 yards and two touchdowns on only five carries.

Simon Lunsford's Big Game Leads Green Mountain over Evergreen

On the season, Lunsford has thrown 12 touchdowns while averaging 193.9 passing yards per game.
