Central Plains 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!
A Season-Best Performance from Emrick Hays Leads Garden Plain over Kingman
On Friday, Garden Plain got the W thanks in part to Emrick Hays playing the best football he has all season. Hays rushed for 211 yards and five touchdowns while picking up 7.5 yards per carry. He's now once again averaging 100+ rushing yards (107.8) per game. Those 211 rushing yards gave him a new career-high.
The victory was the third in a row for Garden Plain, bringing their record for this year to 4-2. Hays and Garden Plain will venture away from home to square off against Douglass at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Conway Springs Wins 17th-Straight Thanks to Isaac Winter
Isaac Winter's big game helped extend Conway Springs's winning streak to 17 on Friday. Winter rushed for 189 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 9.9 yards per carry, good enough for us to rate the performance as the best he's had all season long. His longest rush was for an incredible 79 yards.
Winter and Conway Springs will be playing in front of their home fans against Ellinwood at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The Cardinals got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Eagles, probably because Winter had a solid game then too: he rushed for 84 yards on only five carries. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

Farr Came Up Big in Medicine Lodge's 20-12 Win
Braxx Farr posted a new career-high in rushing yards on Friday. He rushed for 116 yards and a touchdown. He didn't just play on offense: he also picked up a sack, forced a fumble, and made four total tackles (3.0 for loss).
For the season, Farr has run in 4 touchdowns while averaging 69 rushing yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 7.6 rushing yards per game.

Logan Osner Turns in Season-Best Effort
Logan Osner was instrumental in extending Conway Springs's winning streak to 17 on Friday. Osner rushed for 121 yards and a touchdown on only 15 carries, good enough for us to rate the performance as the best he's had all season long.
This season, Osner has thrown 1 touchdown (and no picks) while averaging 25.8 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 10.17 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 77.33 rushing yards.
