5A Division III Southern Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances from Thursday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
A Season-Best Performance from Khy Harris Leads Centennial over Desert Oasis
Centennial was led to victory by Khy Harris, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Thursday. Harris rushed for 141 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 8.3 yards per carry, and also picked up 59 receiving yards, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He showed off some serious burst, cutting through the defense on one rush that went for 59 yards.
Harris and Centennial will have some time to savor their win since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Las Vegas at 6:00 p.m. on October 24th. The match will pit Harris up against the Wildcats' star running back Mackey Aldred. Will the contest be decided in the trenches? We'll have our answer very soon.

Ashton Hunt Has Career Rushing Day
On Thursday, Centennial got the W thanks in part to Ashton Hunt playing the best football he has all season. Hunt threw for 371 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 12.0 yards per attempt, and also rushed for 35 yards, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He has become a key player for Centennial: the team is 3-1 when he posts at least three passing touchdowns, but 0-4 otherwise.
Hunt and Centennial will have some time to savor their victory since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Las Vegas at 6:00 p.m. on October 24th. Hunt will face off against Tanner Vibabul, the Wildcats' star signal caller. So who wins this QB-duel? There's only one way to know for sure.
