Greater Wichita City 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!
Darius Rogers Turns in Season-Best Effort
On Friday, Heights got the W thanks in part to Darius Rogers playing the best football he has all season. Rogers rushed for 127 yards and three touchdowns on only six carries, and also picked up 142 receiving yards and two touchdowns, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. His longest reception was for an incredible 81 yards.
On the season, Rogers has caught 3 touchdowns while averaging 37 receiving yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had two rushing touchdowns. This year he is already up to six.
Gamescore: 67.37
Augie Fast Goes Supernova in Northwest Victory
Northwest found a leader in Augie Fast as the squad took down South on Friday. Fast was unstoppable, rushing for 216 yards and two touchdowns on only 13 carries.
Northwest's victory was their fourth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 6-1. Fast will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant performance when he faces off against Eisenhower on Friday.
Gamescore: 50.00
Mason Made His Presence Known in Northwest's 62-8 Win
Keeping Fast company is Jaylen Mason, a fellow Northwest player. He threw for 161 yards and three touchdowns, and also rushed for 73 yards and a touchdown on only nine carries.
This year, Mason has thrown 13 touchdowns while averaging 172.3 passing yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after seven games last season, he had one rushing touchdown. This year he is already up to eight.

Southeast's Losing Streak Is No More Thanks to Marcus Johnson
Thanks in part to Marcus Johnson, Southeast said goodbye to their 14-game losing streak dating back to last season. Nobody could stop Johnson on Friday as he picked up three sacks and made ten total tackles (6.0 for loss).
Southeast's first victory this season bumped their record up to 1-6. It'll be Northside v. Southside when they and North meet at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
