Jaron Cannon's Big Game Leads Omaha North over Bellevue West
Starting off the list is Omaha North's Jaron Cannon, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Cannon rushed for 143 yards and a touchdown, and also picked up 40 receiving yards and a touchdown.
Cannon must have Bellevue West's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Cannon rushed for 162 yards while picking up 10.1 yards per carry the last time he and the Thunderbirds duked it out back in August of 2023.
