Frontier recap Oct. 16, 2012

Eudora suffered a letdown when it was bounced from the state Top 25 this week after besting Santa Fe Trail. The Cardinals had been ranked 15th, but fell to 30.

Louisburg took down Prairie View 56-0 last week, the largest margin of any game.

Eudora's dynamic duo of Andrew Ballock and Nick Becker proved tough for the Chargers to stop, as they were the top passer and receiver in the league this week. Ballock threw for 104 yards and one touchdown and Becker had 51 yards receiving. Tanner Tornedon helped Eudora's passing attack out by catching one ball for 42 yards.

Jason Johnson was the most productive running back in Frontier this week. In 19 carries, he ran for 89 yards as DeSoto bested Santa Fe Trail. Jacob Price also contributed to the rushing game with 54 yards on the ground.

The Wildcats' Corbin Clark and Zach Griffiths have formed a dynamic duo this season, leading the league in both passing and receiving yards. Clark has thrown for 716 yards this season, while Griffiths, a 5-foot-9 receiver, has 22 catches for 308 yards. The Cardinals' Garret Elston leads the league in rushing yards with 628.

A big matchup in the league this week will be when Ottawa takes on Eudora. As it stands, the Cyclones are in seventh, while the Cardinals are in first.

Baldwin made the biggest jump in the national rankings this week, rising to 3,248 from 4,714. The improvement was the result of 35-0 victory over Ottawa last week.
