5A Region 5 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!
Siaki Fekitoa Delivers Best Effort of Season
Siaki Fekitoa produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Bountiful to the win on Friday. Fekitoa's rushing production has been exceptional as that marked his seventh straight game with at least 121 rushing yards. He is trending in the right direction considering he's improved his point production for three straight games.
The victory was the eighth in a row for Bountiful, bringing their record for this year to 11-1. Fekitoa and Bountiful will face off against Brighton at 2:30 p.m. on Friday.
Gamescore: 55.22
Young Posts Huge Game in 43-29 Win
Robert Young's big game helped extend Roy's winning streak to three on Friday. Nobody could stop Young as he rushed for 127 yards and a touchdown on only eight carries, and also picked up 65 receiving yards and a touchdown. His longest rush was for an impressive 60 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
Viewmont had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Young it was a similar story. Young rushed for 94 yards and three touchdowns on only five carries, and also picked up 64 receiving yards and a touchdown the last time he and the Vikings duked it out back in October.

Emerson Geilman Goes Supernova in Bountiful Victory
Emerson Geilman was instrumental in extending Bountiful's winning streak to eight on Friday. Geilman did his part (and then some), throwing for 241 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 12.1 yards per attempt, and also rushing for 48 yards for the 'W'.
This season, Geilman has thrown 22 touchdowns (and and only 4 pick) while averaging 186.7 passing yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after 12 games last season, he was only averaging 15.83 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 48.67 rushing yards.
Gamescore: 31.17
Logan Cella Makes It Two for Roy
The second Roy player making an appearance here is Logan Cella, and for good reason. He made six total tackles.
Unfortunately for Viewmont, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Cella. When Cella last faced the Vikings back in October, he made 16 total tackles (2.0 for loss).
Gamescore: 29.83

On the season, Gardner has thrown 25 touchdowns while averaging 191.2 passing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after 12 games last season, he was only averaging 99.67 passing yards per game.
