Kreyton Wiese Goes Supernova in Wauneta-Palisade Victory
Starting off the list is Wauneta-Palisade's Kreyton Wiese, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Wiese rushed for 190 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 9.0 yards per carry. He has become a key player for Wauneta-Palisade: the team is 2-1 when he posts at least 80 rushing yards, but 1-3 otherwise.
Wiese and Wauneta-Palisade will head out to challenge Medicine Valley on Friday. The game will pit Wiese up against the Raiders' star running back Mason Roblee. Will the match be decided in the trenches? We'll have our answer very soon.
