Southeast Kansas Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances from Friday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Conner Proffitt Drops League-Best Effort on Friday
Starting off the list is Pittsburg's Conner Proffitt, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Proffitt picked up 101 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 35 yards. He torched the secondary when he pulled down a catch that went for 73 yards.
For the season, Proffitt has averaged 24.7 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 11 receiving yards per game. This year he is averaging 36 receiving yards.

Jackson Posts Huge Game in 13-6 Win
Labette County found a leader in Jamaal Jackson as the team took down Field Kindley on Friday. Jackson was unstoppable, rushing for 175 yards and a touchdown.
Field Kindley had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Jackson it was a similar story. Jackson rushed for 121 yards and a touchdown on only 12 carries the last time he and the Golden Tornado duked it out back in October of 2023.
