Ark Valley-Chisholm Trail Division II 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!
Kaiden Stroot Turns in Season-Best Effort
On Friday, Goddard got the W thanks in part to Kaiden Stroot playing the best football he has all season. Stroot rushed for 182 yards and three touchdowns on only 14 carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. His longest rush was for an impressive 64 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
The victory (which was Goddard's fifth in a row) raised their record to 6-1. Stroot and Goddard will look to defend their home field on Friday against Arkansas City at 9:10 p.m.
Gamescore: 48.80
Big Game from Pabst As Eisenhower Fell 27-26
Carter Pabst continued his hot streak on Friday by dropping his third-straight game (dating back to last season) with at least two receiving touchdowns. He picked up 145 receiving yards and three touchdowns. He torched the secondary when he pulled down a catch that went for 79 yards.
With the defeat, Eisenhower broke their six-game winning streak and moved their record to 6-1. Pabst and Eisenhower will be playing at home against Northwest at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Preston Hagel's Big Game Leads Goddard over Arkansas City
Goddard picked up their fifth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Preston Hagel. Hagel did his part (and then some), picking up a sack, making nine total tackles (3.0 for loss), and defending a pass for the 'W'.
This season, Hagel has averaged 12.9 total tackles per game and for the season has 7 sacks.

Maddox Archibald Goes Supernova in Andover Central Victory
Andover Central took down Eisenhower on Friday, a win that might not have happened without Maddox Archibald's standout effort. Nobody could stop Archibald as he rushed for 123 yards and two touchdowns.
Archibald and Andover Central will venture away from home to face off against Andover at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The last time Archibald took on the Trojans, he rushed for 67 yards and a touchdown. Can he match (or beat) that performance?
Gamescore: 26.38
Makai Tagatac Makes It Two for Eisenhower
The second Eisenhower player making an appearance here is Makai Tagatac, and for good reason. He made 12 total tackles (4.0 for loss) and defended a pass. He is on a roll when it comes to total tackles, as he's now made six or more in the last four games he's played dating back to last season.
For the season, Tagatac has averaged 8.6 total tackles per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 3.14 total tackles per game.
