4A Region 10 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!
Sam Pehrson Goes Supernova in Murray Win
Starting off the list is Murray's Sam Pehrson, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Pehrson rushed for 131 yards and three touchdowns on only 14 carries. He is on a roll when it comes to rushing touchdowns, as he's now punched in two or more in the last five games he's played dating back to last season.
The win (which was Murray's third in a row) raised their record to 5-3. Pehrson and Murray will be staying on the road on Thursday to face off against Stansbury at 7:00 p.m.

A Season-Best Effort from Conner Whitehead Leads Murray over Tooele
Murray was led to victory by Conner Whitehead, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Whitehead picked up 58 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, picking up a sack and making four total tackles (2.0 for loss).
On the year, Whitehead has run in 2 touchdowns while averaging 15.6 rushing yards per game.

Gritzmacher Came Up Big in Tooele's 51-17 Defeat
Vaughn Gritzmacher continued his hot streak on Friday by dropping his third-straight game (dating back to last season) with at least two rushing touchdowns. He rushed for 76 yards and two touchdowns on only ten carries. He didn't just play on offense: he also made five total tackles and defended a pass.
Gritzmacher must have Murray's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. When Gritzmacher last faced the Spartans back in September of 2023, he rushed for 92 yards and two touchdowns on only five carries, and also picked up 70 receiving yards and a touchdown.
