Southeast Kansas 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!
Field Kindley Gets a Boost from Tunstall in 13-6 Defeat
Starting off the list is Field Kindley's Aaron Tunstall, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Tunstall rushed for 192 yards and a touchdown on only 15 carries. His longest rush was for an impressive 65 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
Unfortunately for Labette County, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Tunstall. When Tunstall last faced the Grizzlies back in October of 2023, he rushed for 262 yards and five touchdowns while picking up 14.6 yards per carry.
Gamescore: 60.65
While Conner Proffitt delivered a dominant effort on Friday, a win just wasn't in the cards for Pittsburg. Proffitt was dynamite, picking up 101 receiving yards and a touchdown, while also rushing for 35 yards. His longest reception was for an incredible 73 yards.
This season, Proffitt has averaged 24.7 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 11 receiving yards per game. This year he is averaging 36 receiving yards.
Gamescore: 28.70
Jackson Made His Presence Known in Labette County's 13-6 Win
Winning always takes teamwork, but on Friday Jamaal Jackson stepped things up a notch to give Labette County the 'W'. Field Kindley had no answer to Jackson as he rushed for 175 yards and a touchdown.
Unfortunately for Field Kindley, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Jackson. Jackson rushed for 121 yards and a touchdown on only 12 carries the last time he and the Golden Tornado duked it out back in October of 2023.
Gamescore: 28.20
Carsen Nickelson Makes It Two for Pittsburg
The second Pittsburg player making an appearance here is Carsen Nickelson, and for good reason. He threw for 190 yards and two touchdowns on only ten passes, and also rushed for 30 yards.
On the year, Nickelson has thrown 7 touchdowns (and and only 1 pick) while averaging 90.6 passing yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 20.8 passing yards per game.
Gamescore: 26.62
A Constellation of Stars for Pittsburg

For the season, Peery has run in 6 touchdowns while averaging 71.5 rushing yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 0.83 rushing yards per game.
