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!
Tunstall Made His Presence Known in Field Kindley's 13-6 Defeat
Starting off the list is Field Kindley's Aaron Tunstall, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Tunstall rushed for 192 yards and a touchdown on only 15 carries. His longest rush was for an impressive 65 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
Labette County's probably not too fond of Tunstall given he always seems to get the better of them. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Tunstall saw the Grizzlies), he rushed for 262 yards and five touchdowns while picking up 14.6 yards per carry.
Gamescore: 60.65
While Pittsburg might've come up empty on Friday, Conner Proffitt wasn't going down without a fight. Proffitt was unstoppable, picking up 101 receiving yards and a touchdown, while also rushing for 35 yards. The bulk of those receiving yards came from one huge play: a catch that gained an incredible 73 yards.
For the year, 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.
Gamescore: 28.70
Labette County Gets a Boost from Jackson in 13-6 Win
Labette County found a leader in Jamaal Jackson as the team took down Field Kindley on Friday. Jackson turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 175 yards and a touchdown.
Field Kindley's probably not too fond of Jackson given he always seems to get the better of them. When Jackson last faced the Golden Tornado back in October of 2023, he rushed for 121 yards and a touchdown on only 12 carries.
Gamescore: 28.20
Carsen Nickelson Makes It Two for Pittsburg
The second Pittsburg player making an appearance here is Carsen Nickelson, and for good reason. He threw for 190 yards and two touchdowns on only ten passes, and also rushed for 30 yards.
For the season, Nickelson has thrown 7 touchdowns (and and only 1 pick) while averaging 90.6 passing yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 20.8 passing yards per game.
Gamescore: 26.62
A Constellation of Stars for Pittsburg
Another Pittsburg player making an appearance on this list is Stone Peery. He rushed for 45 yards and a touchdown.
On the year, Peery has run in 6 touchdowns while averaging 71.5 rushing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after six games last season, he was only averaging 0.83 rushing yards per game.
