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
Seaman was led to victory by Max Huston, who turned in his biggest game of the season 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.
Huston must have Shawnee Heights's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. 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
Carson Dixon produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Basehor-Linwood to the win 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.

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 year, Mckinney has averaged 26.3 receiving yards per game.

Shawnee Heights Gets a Boost from Parker in 59-34 Loss

Shawnee Heights is on a four-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 1-5. Parker and Shawnee Heights will welcome Lansing at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
