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 is probably looking forward to his next game, a home matchup against Mountain Ridge on Friday. Back in August (the last time Bessinger saw the Sentinels), he threw for 425 yards and three touchdowns while completing 72.7% of his passes.

Sparrow Made His Presence Known in Davis' 49-10 Win
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.
This year, Sparrow has caught 15 touchdowns while averaging 80 receiving yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he had nine receiving touchdowns.

Farmington Wins Fourth-Straight Thanks to Afu Fiefia
Farmington picked up their fourth consecutive win on Wednesday thanks in part to Afu Fiefia. 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 matchups, which provided a massive bump to their 5-5 record this season. Fiefia and Farmington will have some time to savor their win since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on American Fork at 6:00 p.m. on November 1st.
Gamescore: 28.57
Moa Came Up Big in Fremont's 21-14 Defeat
Fremont had to settle for second on Wednesday, but Salesi Moa sure wasn't going down easily. Moa was unstoppable, picking up 68 receiving yards and two touchdowns. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making seven total tackles and defending a pass.
With the defeat, 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 loss as they won't be playing again for a while. They'll take on Syracuse at 2:00 p.m. on November 1st.
Gamescore: 26.72
Owen Talbot Dazzles in Davis Victory
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.
Talbot is probably looking forward to his next game, a home matchup against Mountain Ridge on Friday. When Talbot last faced the Sentinels back in August, he rushed for 37 yards and two touchdowns, and also picked up 45 receiving yards.
