5A South Metro Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances across Friday and Saturday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Austyn Modrzewski's Big Game Leads Mountain Vista over Thunderridge
Austyn Modrzewski was instrumental in extending Mountain Vista's winning streak to seven on Friday. Modrzewski was unstoppable, throwing for 367 yards and six touchdowns while completing 80% of his passes. He is on a roll when it comes to passing touchdowns, as he's now passed for three or more in the last nine games he's played dating back to last season.
Modrzewski must have ThunderRidge's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Modrzewski threw for 451 yards and five touchdowns while completing 81.8% of his passes the last time he and the Grizzlies duked it out back in September of 2023.

A Season-Best Effort from Tyler Meyer Leads Rock Canyon over Fruita Monument
Rock Canyon was led to victory by Tyler Meyer, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Saturday. Meyer's rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his seventh straight game with at least 106 rushing yards.
Meyer's next game is against Castle View on Friday, where he'll look to repeat that solid performance. Meyer will face off against Aaron Perry on Friday, the Sabercats' star running back. With so much talent on the field, fans are surely in for an exciting game. The only thing left to see is who brings home the W.
