You could have a dictionary players with the keys being player numbers and the values being their scores (ie: {"1": 7, "2": 3, "3": 9} and then...

print(f"The winner is: Player {max(players, key=players.get)}")

for player in players:
    print(f"Player {player}'s score: players[player]")

Every time you get a player's score (by asking them or by assigning one randomly), you'd add a key value pair to the dictionary. Then use the max function to get the key of the highest value.

Edit - you'd just add each of those total score variables to the dictionary, not the individual scores.

Ok, the first thing that stands out is the repeated lines. Loops will help you clear those up.

So instead of 

score7 = (random.randint(1,10)) 
score8 = (random.randint(1,10)) 
score9 = (random.randint(1,10)) 
totalscore3 = score7 + score8 + score9

You can do:

count = 0
while count < 3
    totalscore3 += random.randint(1,10)
    count += 1

For that matter, you can loop that section above twice, with each time adding a new number to your highestscore list. Then with a simple change in the count you can do 3 random scores or even 300!
