4A Region 11 Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances in games played on Wednesday and Thursday (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
A Season-Best Performance from Payton Wilson Leads Green Canyon over Sky View
Green Canyon was led to victory by Payton Wilson, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Wednesday. Wilson rushed for 193 yards while picking up 9.7 yards per carry, and also threw for 170 yards and three touchdowns while completing 73.1% of his passes, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
The win made it two in a row for Green Canyon and bumps their season record up to 7-2. Wilson and Green Canyon will have some time to savor their victory since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Uintah at 6:00 p.m. on November 1st.

Ridgeline Gets a Boost from White in 45-7 Victory
Jt White's big game helped extend Ridgeline's winning streak to ten on Wednesday. Nobody could stop White as he rushed for 130 yards and a touchdown on only six carries, and also picked up 30 receiving yards and a touchdown. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his third straight game with at least 130 rushing yards.
Ridgeline's victory was their 12th straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 10-0. White and Ridgeline will get to enjoy the win for a while: their next game is against Hurricane at 6:00 p.m. on November 1st.
Gamescore: 38.85
Nate Dahle Goes Supernova in Ridgeline Victory
Nate Dahle's big game helped extend Ridgeline's winning streak to ten on Wednesday. Dahle turned in nothing short of a gem, throwing for 295 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 13.4 yards per attempt, and also rushing for 39 yards and a touchdown.
On the year, Dahle has thrown 25 touchdowns (and and only 3 pick) while averaging 256.1 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 11.3 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 27 rushing yards.
Gamescore: 35.97
Tydon Jones put up the most rushing yards he's had since back in August on Thursday. He rushed for 44 yards.
Logan had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Jones it was a similar story. When Jones last faced the Grizzlies back in September of 2023, he rushed for 85 yards on only eight carries, and also caught a touchdown.
Gamescore: 33.30
Jack Clark Makes Top Five
Rounding off our Top Five is Jack Clark of Sky View. Clark threw for 241 yards and two touchdowns, and also punched in two touchdowns on the ground.
Clark and Sky View will have a little extra prep time after the loss as they won't be playing again for a while. They'll take on Mountain Crest at 6:00 p.m. on November 1st. The Bobcats got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Mustangs, probably because Clark had a solid game then too: he threw for 217 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 10.9 yards per attempt. Can he match (or beat) that performance?
