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's Big Game Can't Quite Lead Heights over South
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.
Unfortunately for South, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Meyer. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Meyer saw the Titans), he rushed for 138 yards and two touchdowns on only ten carries.
Gamescore: 41.18
Big Game from Rogers As Heights Fell 55-42
Keeping Meyer company is Darius Rogers, a fellow Heights player. He rushed for 78 yards and a touchdown on only ten carries.
For the season, 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 was only averaging 20.83 rushing yards per game.

Mason Came Up Big in Northwest's 38-17 Defeat
While Northwest might've come up empty on Friday, Jaylen Mason wasn't going down without a fight. Nobody could stop Mason as he rushed for 94 yards and a touchdown, and also threw for 113 yards on five of 18 attempts.
