United 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!
A Season-Best Effort from Max Huston Leads Seaman over Shawnee Heights
Max Huston produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Seaman to the win on Friday. Huston rushed for 168 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 9.9 yards per carry, and also threw for 210 yards and two touchdowns while completing 76.5% of his passes, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
Shawnee Heights's probably not too fond of Huston given he always seems to get the better of them. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Huston saw the Thunderbirds), he threw for 318 yards and three touchdowns, and also rushed for 32 yards.

Carson Dixon Sets Career High in Rushing Yards
Basehor-Linwood was led to victory by Carson Dixon, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Dixon threw for 373 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 12.4 yards per attempt, and also rushed for 66 yards and a touchdown on only seven carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
The victory for Basehor-Linwood keeps them at an undefeated 6-0. Dixon and Basehor-Linwood will challenge Seaman at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
Gamescore: 53.27
On Friday, Seaman got the W thanks in part to Kaden Mckinney playing the best football he has all season. Mckinney rushed for 217 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 10.9 yards per carry, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. His longest rush was for an incredible 97 yards.
This season, Mckinney has averaged 26.3 receiving yards per game.
Gamescore: 48.67
Big Game from Parker As Shawnee Heights Fell 59-34
While Tyren Parker delivered a dominant effort on Friday, a win just wasn't in the cards for Shawnee Heights. Despite the loss, Parker was still balling out as he picked up 65 receiving yards and two touchdowns. He didn't just play on offense: he also made eight total tackles and defended three passes.
Parker and Shawnee Heights will be playing in front of their home fans against Lansing at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The matchup will pit Parker up against the Lions' star wideout Aj Allen. The only thing left to do is find out who's the greater deep ball threat. You'll have to watch the game to know for sure.

Aiden Scott Makes It Two for Shawnee Heights
Keeping Parker company is Aiden Scott, a fellow Shawnee Heights player. He threw for 357 yards and five touchdowns while picking up 10.5 yards per attempt.
Scott and Shawnee Heights will challenge Lansing at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The game will pit Scott up against the Lions' star QB Reid Oakley. With so much talent on the field, fans are surely in for an exciting game. The only thing left to see is who brings home the W.
