North Central Missouri 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!
Jace Kent Goes Supernova in Kirksville Victory
Jace Kent was instrumental in extending Kirksville's winning streak to six on Friday. Kent did his part (and then some), rushing for 200 yards and a touchdown for the 'W'. That's the most rushing yards he has posted since back in October of 2023.
Kent will have a chance to log another big game when he takes on Mexico on Friday. The game will pit Kent up against the Bulldogs' star rusher Drew Demint. 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.
