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!
Lucas Meyer Goes Supernova in Heights Defeat
Starting off the list is Heights's Lucas Meyer, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Meyer rushed for 135 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 8.4 yards per carry, and also picked up 65 receiving yards and a touchdown. That's the most rushing yards he has posted since back in September of 2023.
South's probably not too fond of Meyer given he always seems to get the better of them. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Meyer saw the Titans), he rushed for 138 yards and two touchdowns on only ten carries.

Heights Gets a Boost from Rogers in 55-42 Loss
Another Heights player making an appearance on this list is Darius Rogers. He rushed for 78 yards and a touchdown on only ten carries.
This year, Rogers has run in 3 touchdowns while averaging 56.8 rushing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after six games last season, he had one rushing touchdown.
Gamescore: 28.10
Mason Posts Huge Game in 38-17 Loss
While Jaylen Mason delivered a dominant performance on Friday, a win just wasn't in the cards for Northwest. Manhattan had no answer to Mason as he rushed for 94 yards and a touchdown, and also threw for 113 yards on five of 18 attempts.
Northwest's and South will meet in a classic North v. South matchup at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The last time Mason took on the Titans, he threw for 160 yards and three touchdowns while completing 77.8% of his passes. Can he match (or beat) that performance?
