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!
Preston Hatfield Turns in Season-Best Effort
On Friday, Lee's Summit got the W thanks in part to Preston Hatfield playing the best football he has all season. Hatfield rushed for 278 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 17.4 yards per carry, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 72-yard run.
The victory was the fifth in a row for Lee's Summit, bringing their record for this year to 7-1. Hatfield and Lee's Summit will be playing in front of their home fans against Lee's Summit North at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Draivyn Colvin Has Career Rushing Day
Sadly, Draivyn Colvin posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Staley over Lee's Summit on Friday. Colvin rushed for 198 yards and a touchdown while picking up 9.0 yards per carry, and also caught a touchdown, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 72-yard run.
Staley is on a five-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 1-7. Colvin and Staley will look to defend their home field on Friday against Raymore-Peculiar at 7:00 p.m.
