Draivyn Colvin Sets Career High in Rushing Yards
Sadly, Draivyn Colvin posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Staley over Lee's Summit on Friday. Colvin rushed for 198 yards and a touchdown while picking up 9.0 yards per carry, and also caught a touchdown, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 72-yard run.
Staley is on a five-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 1-7. Colvin and Staley will face off against Raymore-Peculiar at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
Gamescore: 43.48
Layman Posts Huge Game in 63-28 Win
Another Lee's Summit player making an appearance on this list is Brayden Layman. He threw for 270 yards and three touchdowns while completing 71.4% of his passes. He has been hot recently, having posted three or more passing touchdowns the last four times he's played.
For the season, Layman has thrown 21 touchdowns while averaging 256.6 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 14.06 passer rating per game. This year he is averaging 121.1 passer rating.

A Season-Best Performance from Cirron Harrison Leads Lee's Summit North over Lee's Summit West
On Friday, Lee's Summit North got the W thanks in part to Cirron Harrison playing the best football he has all season. Harrison picked up 2.5 sacks, forced a fumble, and made six total tackles (4.0 for loss).
Harrison is probably looking forward to his next game, a home matchup against Lee's Summit on Friday. Back in November of 2023 (the last time Harrison saw the Tigers), he picked up two sacks, forced two fumbles, and made three total tackles.

Karsten Fiene and Co. Win Fifth in a Row
Karsten Fiene was instrumental in extending Lee's Summit's winning streak to five on Friday. Fiene turned in nothing short of a gem, picking up 140 receiving yards and two touchdowns. He is on a roll when it comes to receiving touchdowns, as he's now hauled in two or more in the last three games he's played.
For the season, Fiene has caught 12 touchdowns while averaging 97.8 receiving yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after eight games last season, he had one receiving touchdown.
