5A South Metro Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances across Friday and Saturday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Austyn Modrzewski Dazzles in Mountain Vista Victory
Austyn Modrzewski's big game helped extend Mountain Vista's winning streak to seven on Friday. Nobody could stop Modrzewski as he threw for 367 yards and six touchdowns while completing 80% of his passes. He is on a roll when it comes to passing touchdowns, as he's now passed for three or more in the last nine games he's played dating back to last season.
Modrzewski must have ThunderRidge's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Modrzewski saw the Grizzlies), he threw for 451 yards and five touchdowns while completing 81.8% of his passes.
