Wilhelm Made His Presence Known in Blue Springs South's 41-24 Win
Winning always takes teamwork, but on Friday Ayden Wilhelm stepped things up a notch to give Blue Springs South the 'W'. Wilhelm turned in nothing short of a gem, 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 Dazzles in Blue Springs South Win
Keeping Wilhelm company is Kendrick Hawkins JR, a fellow Blue Springs South player. 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. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Hawkins JR saw the Wildcats), he rushed for 138 yards and three touchdowns.

A Constellation of Stars for Blue Springs South

Hatfield Posts Huge Game in 42-0 Victory
Another Lee's Summit player making an appearance on this list is Peyton Hatfield. He picked up 140 receiving yards and a touchdown.
Raymore-Peculiar's probably not too fond of Hatfield given he always seems to get the better of them. Hatfield picked up 95 receiving yards and two touchdowns the last time he and the Panthers duked it out back in October of 2023.
