Great West 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!
A Season-Best Effort from Chayton Goodwin Leads Goodland over Colby
Chayton Goodwin produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Goodland to the win on Friday. Goodwin rushed for 121 yards and a touchdown on only 11 carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. The bulk of those rushing yards came from one huge play: a run that gained an incredible 70 yards.
On the season, Goodwin has averaged 21 receiving yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after six games last season, he had one rushing touchdown. This year he is already up to four.

Zach Thorson Makes It Two for Goodland
Keeping Goodwin company is Zach Thorson, a fellow Goodland player. He threw for 304 yards and five touchdowns.
This season, Thorson has thrown 20 touchdowns while averaging 226.2 passing yards per game.
Gamescore: 32.17
A Constellation of Stars for Goodland
Another Goodland player making an appearance on this list is Linkon Cure. He picked up 76 receiving yards and three touchdowns.
This year, Cure has caught 10 touchdowns while averaging 94.7 receiving yards per game.
Gamescore: 26.72
Ulysses had to settle for second on Friday, but Stryker Berglund sure wasn't going down easily. Guymon had no answer to Berglund as he rushed for 31 yards.
Ulysses is on a 15-game losing streak (dating back to last season) that has dropped them down to 0-6. Berglund will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant performance when he faces off against Liberal on Friday.
Gamescore: 23.65
Korbin Johnson Makes Top Five
Rounding off our Top Five is Korbin Johnson of Holcomb. Johnson picked up 67 receiving yards, and also rushed for 46 yards. The bulk of those receiving yards came from one huge play: a catch that gained an incredible 59 yards.
Holcomb's defeat ended a six-game streak of wins at home dating back to last season and dropped them to 4-2. Johnson's next game is against Hugoton on Friday, where he'll look to repeat that solid effort.
Gamescore: 22.22
