4A North 1 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!
Ryder Eastin Dazzles in Loveland Win
Starting off the list is Loveland's Ryder Eastin, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Eastin rushed for 112 yards and four touchdowns on only six carries, and also threw for 31 yards and a touchdown. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 71-yard run.
Loveland's victory ended a five-game drought on the road dating back to last season and puts them at 3-6. Eastin's next matchup is against Poudre on Friday, where he'll look to repeat that solid effort.

Gavin Ishmael Goes Supernova in Frederick Defeat
Frederick was sadly handed a defeat on Friday, but Gavin Ishmael did his best to prevent it. Ishmael turned in nothing short of a gem, throwing for 280 yards and two touchdowns, while also rushing for 100 yards on only ten carries.
Ishmael will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant performance when he faces off against Greeley West on Thursday. Ishmael will face off against Isiah Montoya on Thursday, the Spartans' star QB. 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.
