Brelin Summers Turns in Season-Best Effort

For the year, Summers has averaged 6.5 total tackles per game and for the season has 7 sacks. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 0.67 total tackles per game.

Jacob Grant Delivers Best Effort of Season
Sadly, Jacob Grant posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Baxter Springs over Frontenac on Friday. Grant picked up 136 receiving yards and two touchdowns, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground. The performance also marked the most rushing yards (ten) he has had since back in September of 2023. He torched the secondary when he pulled down a catch that went for 70 yards.
Baxter Springs' loss was their seventh straight at home dating back to last season, which dropped their record down to 1-5. Grant will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant effort when he faces off against Neodesha on Friday.

Tanner Made His Presence Known in Columbus' 36-0 Victory
Jett Tanner posted a new career-high in rushing yards on Friday. He rushed for 164 yards on only 13 carries. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making eight total tackles and defending two passes.
The win was the third in a row for Columbus, bringing their record for this year to 5-1. Tanner and Columbus will venture away from home to square off against Frontenac at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
