Ark Valley-Chisholm Trail Division II 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!
Kaiden Stroot Turns in Season-Best Performance
On Friday, Goddard got the W thanks in part to Kaiden Stroot playing the best football he has all season. Stroot rushed for 182 yards and three touchdowns on only 14 carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. His longest rush was for an impressive 64 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
The win (which was Goddard's fifth in a row) raised their record to 6-1. Stroot will have a chance to log another big game when he takes on Salina Central on Friday.
Gamescore: 48.80
Pabst Posts Huge Game in 27-26 Loss
Carter Pabst continued his hot streak on Friday by dropping his third-straight game with at least two receiving touchdowns. He picked up 145 receiving yards and three touchdowns. He really caught the secondary sleeping when he pulled down a catch that went for 79 yards.
With the loss, Eisenhower broke their six-game winning streak and moved their record to 6-1. Pabst and Eisenhower will look to defend their home field on Friday against Northwest at 7:00 p.m.

Makai Tagatac Dazzles in Eisenhower Loss
The second Eisenhower player making an appearance here is Makai Tagatac, and for good reason. He made 12 total tackles (4.0 for loss) and defended a pass. He is on a roll when it comes to total tackles, as he's now made six or more in the last four games he's played.
