This is my weekly "Heroes" feature, a collection of some of the best performances of the prior week. If I left you off, it's for one of three reasons:
1) Your coach didn't input stats and I didn't have anyone out at your game. If that's the case, get on your coaching staff.
2) There's hundreds of schools and I have to pick and choose, sincere apologies if that means your great week goes unnoticed!
3) I messed up. Email me at azhsfootball@gmail.com
