MileHigh Prep Report Players of The Week for Opening Round Presented by Gordon Insurance
I am picking the Players of the Week for every winner of the first-round game. That is only happening if stats are available, or I will dig thru other media outlets for help or send a nominee if your team is missing a player. If no stats or media help, then no player will be picked. (Note: If there are not stats it is hard for me to guess or assume a player had a big game.)
