6A Region 1 Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances from Wednesday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Tradon Bessinger Goes Supernova in Davis Win
Starting off the list is Davis's Tradon Bessinger, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Bessinger threw for 258 yards and three touchdowns while completing 77.3% of his passes, and also rushed for 32 yards and two touchdowns. Those 32 rushing yards gave him a new career-high.
Bessinger might have his next game, a home matchup with Mountain Ridge, circled on his calendar. Bessinger threw for 425 yards and three touchdowns while completing 72.7% of his passes the last time he and the Sentinels duked it out back in August.

Sparrow Came Up Big in Davis' 49-10 Victory
Another Davis player making an appearance on this list is Bode Sparrow. He picked up 70 receiving yards and two touchdowns. He is on a roll when it comes to receiving touchdowns, as he's now hauled in two or more in the last three games he's played dating back to last season.
On the year, Sparrow has caught 15 touchdowns while averaging 80 receiving yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after ten games last season, he had nine receiving touchdowns.

Farmington Wins Fourth-Straight Thanks to Afu Fiefia
Afu Fiefia was instrumental in extending Farmington's winning streak to four on Wednesday. Fiefia did his part (and then some), picking up nine receiving yards for the 'W'.
Farmington has been performing well recently as they've won five of their last six matches, which provided a nice bump to their 5-5 record this season. Fiefia and Farmington will have some time to savor their victory since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on American Fork at 6:00 p.m. on November 1st.

Fremont Gets a Boost from Moa in 21-14 Defeat
Fremont had to settle for second on Wednesday, but Salesi Moa sure wasn't going down easily. Moa turned in nothing short of a gem, picking up 68 receiving yards and two touchdowns. He also put in work on the defensive side of the ball, making seven total tackles and defending a pass.
With the loss, Fremont broke their seven-game winning streak and moved their record to 7-3. Moa and Fremont will have a little extra prep time after the defeat as they won't be playing again for a while. They'll take on Syracuse at 4:00 p.m. on November 1st.

Owen Talbot's Big Game Leads Davis over Syracuse
Owen Talbot posted a new career-high in rushing yards on Wednesday. He rushed for 125 yards and a touchdown while picking up 7.8 yards per carry.
If history really does repeat itself, Talbot might just drop another big game when he faces off against Mountain Ridge on Friday. Talbot rushed for 37 yards and two touchdowns, and also picked up 45 receiving yards the last time he and the Sentinels duked it out back in August.
