Top 10 Texas Panhandle football performers from Week 6
Bryce Braden, Stratford, QB-LB, Sr.
The Division I Air Force commit did everything he could to make sure the Stratford Elks left Childress with a 21-14 win to close out the non-district schedule on Friday night.

Reese Cabe, Tascosa, RB, Jr.
Cabe was part of a heavy ground attack that resulted in 389 yards during the Tascosa Rebels 56-7 domination of Lubbock High on Thursday night. Cabe only touched the ball two times but it's what he did with those two carries that were impressive totaling 95 yards including a 41-yard touchdown run.
Ben Meyer, Dalhart, LB, Sr.
Meyer celebrated his birthday on Friday in the best way possible by having a stellar performance during Dalhart's 50-21 victory at Muleshoe. The 6-foot-4 Meyer was a menace on defense racking up nine tackles with an interception and even returned another interception 100-yards on a two-point conversion attempt.
Jett Lopez, Amarillo High, QB, Jr.
Despite a shootout loss to Abilene High, Lopez and the Sandies offense continues to look impressive by piling on the points.

Stephen Cowan, Gruver, DB, Sr.
Gruver remained unbeaten improving to 6-0 on the year with a 56-14 home win against River Road on Friday. The Greyhound defense did their job against the Wildcats with Cowan being one of those leaders finishing the evening with eight tackles.
Ty Purcell, Bushland, WR-DB, Sr.

Jonathan Armstrong, Farwell, QB, Sr.
The dual-threat quarterback got Farwell back on track as the Steers knocked off rival Friona 39-13 on Friday. Through the air, Armstrong was 11-of-23 for 189 yards with two touchdowns. On the ground, Armstrong was very strong chewing up 129 yards on only 10 carries with another TD.

Ryler Moreno, Borger, RB, Sr.
Moreno did his job on the ground which helped result in Borger's second win on the year 28-0 against Denver City. Moreno showed his skill against the Mustangs carrying the ball 16 times for 101 yards and found the endzone on three separate occasions.
