A-6 Southwest (6 Man) 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!
Kolter Cranson Dazzles in Branson/Kim Win
Starting off the list is Branson/Kim's Kolter Cranson, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Cranson rushed for 141 yards and three touchdowns on only seven carries, and also picked up 82 receiving yards and two touchdowns. His longest rush was for an impressive 66 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
Unfortunately for La Veta, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Cranson. Cranson rushed for 314 yards and six touchdowns while picking up 18.5 yards per carry the last time he and the Redhawks duked it out back in October of 2023.

Another Game with at Least 107 Rushing Yards from Brett Kendall
Brett Kendall continued his hot streak on Friday by dropping his fourth-straight game (dating back to last season) with at least 107 rushing yards. He threw for 308 yards and four touchdowns, and also rushed for 120 yards and two touchdowns on only 15 carries. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making six total tackles (2.0 for loss) and defending a pass.
Unfortunately for Sierra Grande, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Kendall. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Kendall saw the Panthers), he rushed for 288 yards and five touchdowns while picking up 12.0 yards per carry, and also threw for 112 yards and two touchdowns.

Sierra Grande Wins Fifth-Straight Thanks to Jadyn Martinez
Jadyn Martinez's big game helped extend Sierra Grande's winning streak to five on Friday. Martinez turned in nothing short of a gem, punching in two rushing scores, while also picking up 66 receiving yards.
This year, Martinez has averaged 102 receiving yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after five games last season, he was only averaging 13 receiving yards per game.

Aron Ojeda Makes It Two for Sierra Grande
Keeping Martinez company is Aron Ojeda, a fellow Sierra Grande player. He threw for 313 yards and six touchdowns while completing 71.4% of his passes.
For the season, Ojeda has thrown 21 touchdowns while averaging 199.4 passing yards per game.

Lucas Cordova Turns in Season-Best Effort
Antonito came up short on Saturday despite Lucas Cordova delivering his best game to date. Cordova picked up 146 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 84 yards and a touchdown. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making ten total tackles and defending a pass.
Antonito is on a nine-game losing streak (dating back to last season) that has dropped them down to 0-5. Cordova and Antonito will square off against La Veta at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday.
