West Michigan - Lakes 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!
Kaden Kott Drops League-Best Performance on Friday
Starting off the list is Manistee's Kaden Kott, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. On Friday Kott rushed for 189 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 10.5 yards per carry. The performance marked the most rushing yards he has had since back in September of 2023. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 70-yard run.
Manistee has traveled a rocky road recently having lost three of their last four contests, which put a noticeable dent in their 3-3 record this season. Kott's next matchup is against Shelby on Friday, where he'll look to repeat that solid effort.

For the season, Gunsell has thrown 16 touchdowns while averaging 175.3 passing yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 7.5 passing yards per game.
