Flint Hills 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!
Ace Monihen's Rushing Yards a New Career-High
Starting off the list is Council Grove's Ace Monihen, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. On Friday Monihen rushed for 200 yards and four touchdowns on only ten carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. His longest rush was for an impressive 57 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
Council Grove pushed their record up to 5-1 with the win, which was their fourth straight at home dating back to last season. Monihen and Council Grove will square off against St. Marys at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

St. Marys had no answer to Parsons as he rushed for 172 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 10.1 yards per carry, and also threw for 115 yards on 13 of 21 attempts. Parsons got the majority of those rushing yards when he took off on a run that went for an incredible 89 yards.
Osage City's victory was their third straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 6-0. Parsons and Osage City will square off against Silver Lake at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Porter Deters' Big Game Can't Quite Lead Mission Valley over Olpe
Mission Valley had to settle for second on Friday, but Porter Deters sure wasn't going down easily. Despite the loss, Deters was still balling out as he rushed for 139 yards and a touchdown on only 15 carries, and also threw for 143 yards and a touchdown. His longest rush was for an impressive 67 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
