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!
Benson White Delivers Best Effort of Season
On Thursday, Conifer got the W thanks in part to Benson White playing the best football he has all season. White rushed for 144 yards and three touchdowns on only five carries, and also threw for 165 yards and two touchdowns. His longest rush was for an impressive 59 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
For the season, White has thrown 17 touchdowns (and and only 2 picks) while averaging 193.4 passing yards per game.

Isaac Mccune Dazzles in Wheat Ridge Defeat
While Isaac Mccune delivered a dominant performance on Thursday, a win just wasn't in the cards for Wheat Ridge. Nobody could stop Mccune as he threw for 300 yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 83 yards and a touchdown.
Wheat Ridge is on a three-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 3-4. Mccune's next game is against Skyview on Friday, where he'll look to repeat that solid effort.

Wilkes Posts Huge Game in 48-26 Loss
Keeping Mccune company is Bennett Wilkes, a fellow Wheat Ridge player. He picked up 144 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground.
