Suburban - Gold 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!
Brayden Layman Delivers Best Effort of Season
On Friday, Lee's Summit got the W thanks in part to Brayden Layman playing the best football he has all season. Layman wasn't messing around, throwing for 220 yards and four touchdowns while completing 73.3% of his passes. The contest was his third straight with three or more passing touchdowns dating back to last season.
The win was the fourth in a row for Lee's Summit, bringing their record for this year to 6-1. Layman and Lee's Summit will head out to take on Staley at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Big Game from Wilhelm As Blue Springs South Won 41-24
Ayden Wilhelm was a major factor in Blue Springs South's win over Liberty on Friday. Wilhelm was unstoppable, throwing for 152 yards and two touchdowns, while also rushing for 76 yards on only six carries.
Liberty had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Wilhelm it was a similar story. When Wilhelm last faced the Blue Jays back in November of 2023, he threw for 202 yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 53 yards and a touchdown on only five carries.

Kendrick Hawkins JR Goes Supernova in Blue Springs South Victory
Keeping Wilhelm company is Kendrick Hawkins JR, a fellow Blue Springs South player. He rushed for 144 yards and a touchdown.
If the past is any indication, Hawkins JR could be in store for another big game when he takes on Blue Springs on Friday. Hawkins JR rushed for 138 yards and three touchdowns the last time he and the Wildcats duked it out back in October of 2023.

Hatfield Came Up Big in Lee's Summit's 42-0 Win
The second Lee's Summit player making an appearance here is Peyton Hatfield, and for good reason. He picked up 140 receiving yards and a touchdown.
Hatfield must have Raymore-Peculiar's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. When Hatfield last faced the Panthers back in October of 2023, he picked up 95 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
