Brayden Layman Delivers Best Effort of Season

The contest was his third straight with three or more passing touchdowns dating back to last season.

Wilhelm Posts Huge Game in 41-24 Victory
Blue Springs South found a leader in Ayden Wilhelm as the squad took down Liberty on Friday. Wilhelm did his part (and then some), throwing for 152 yards and two touchdowns, while also rushing for 76 yards on only six carries for the 'W'.
Wilhelm must have Liberty's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Back in November of 2023 (the last time Wilhelm saw the Blue Jays), he threw for 202 yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 53 yards and a touchdown on only five carries.

Kendrick Hawkins JR's Big Game Leads Blue Springs South over Liberty
Another Blue Springs South player making an appearance on this list is Kendrick Hawkins JR. He rushed for 144 yards and a touchdown.
If history really does repeat itself, Hawkins JR might just drop another big game when he faces off against Blue Springs on Friday. When Hawkins JR last faced the Wildcats back in October of 2023, he rushed for 138 yards and three touchdowns.

Lee's Summit Gets a Boost from Hatfield in 42-0 Victory
