3A West Metro Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances in games played on Thursday and Friday (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Josh Bittner Delivers Best Performance of Season
On Thursday, Evergreen got the W thanks in part to Josh Bittner playing the best football he has all season. Bittner rushed for 92 yards and two touchdowns on only 11 carries, and also threw for 92 yards and a touchdown on only eight passes. The performance marked the most rushing yards he has had since back in October of 2023. He has become a key player for Evergreen: the team is undefeated when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns, but 1-2 otherwise.
Bittner is probably looking forward to his next game, a home matchup against Skyview on Thursday. Bittner rushed for 155 yards and three touchdowns on only 15 carries the last time he and the Wolverines duked it out back in October of 2023.
