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 Dazzles in Heights Loss
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.
Meyer must have South's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. 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
Southeast had to settle for second on Friday, but Marcus Johnson sure wasn't going down easily. Despite the defeat, Johnson was still balling out as he picked up two sacks, forced a fumble, and made 12 total tackles (3.0 for loss).
Southeast is on a 14-game losing streak (dating back to last season) that has dropped them down to 0-6. Their road trip will continue as they head out to face West at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Big Game from Rogers As Heights Fell 55-42
The second Heights player making an appearance here is Darius Rogers, and for good reason. He rushed for 78 yards and a touchdown on only ten carries.
On the season, Rogers has run in 3 touchdowns while averaging 56.8 rushing yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he had one rushing touchdown.

Mason Made His Presence Known in Northwest's 38-17 Loss
Northwest had to settle for second on Friday, but Jaylen Mason sure wasn't going down easily. Mason was unstoppable, rushing for 94 yards and a touchdown, while also throwing for 113 yards on five of 18 attempts.
Northwest's defeat ended a six-game streak of away wins dating back to last season and brought them to 5-1. It'll be Northside v. Southside when they and South meet at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Wayman Kidd's Big Game Can't Quite Lead West over Louisburg
