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
On Friday, Pueblo South got the W thanks in part to Caeden Herrera playing the best football he has all season. 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. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Herrera saw the Bulldogs), he threw for 76 yards and four touchdowns while completing 75% of his passes, and also rushed for 30 yards.

Big Game from Moore As Lewis-Palmer Won 58-27
Lewis-Palmer's three-game losing streak is now nothing but a memory thanks in part to Gregory Moore. Harrison had no answer to Moore on Friday as he rushed for 147 yards and two touchdowns on only 11 carries. Moore's longest rush was for an impressive 50 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
For the year, Moore has run in those 2 touchdowns while averaging 74.8 rushing yards per game.

A Season-Best Effort from Gulong Craft Leads Harrison over Lewis-Palmer
Sadly, Gulong Craft posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Harrison over Lewis-Palmer on Friday. Craft rushed for 73 yards and a touchdown, and also caught a touchdown.
Harrison's loss ended a three-game streak of away wins and brought them to 4-2. Craft's next contest is against Discovery Canyon on Saturday, where he'll look to repeat that solid performance.
