Carson Kirby Dazzles in Bixby Victory
Starting off the list is Bixby's Carson Kirby, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Kirby threw for 231 yards and five touchdowns while completing 82.6% of his passes, and also rushed for 67 yards.
Kirby and Bixby will head out to take on Enid at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday. The last time Kirby took on the Plainsmen, he threw for 177 yards while completing 92.3% of his passes, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

Malikai Miller Delivers Best Performance of Season
Sadly, Malikai Miller posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Moore over Deer Creek on Friday. Miller rushed for 107 yards and a touchdown on only 15 carries, and also threw for 185 yards and a touchdown. The performance marked the most rushing yards he has had since back in October of 2023. He showed off some serious burst, turning on the afterburners on one carry for 53 yards.
If history really does repeat itself, Miller might just drop another big game when he faces off against Norman on Friday. Miller rushed for 117 yards and two touchdowns, and also threw for 165 yards and two touchdowns the last time he and the Tigers duked it out back in September of 2023.

Phoenix Murphy Goes Supernova in Norman Victory
Norman found a leader in Phoenix Murphy as the team took down Enid on Thursday. Murphy was unstoppable, throwing for 288 yards and four touchdowns while completing 72.7% of his passes.
Norman pushed their record up to 5-1 with the victory, which was their fourth straight at home dating back to last season. A feisty cat fight will be fought when Tigers challenges Moore at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday.

This season, Presley has caught those 1 touchdown while averaging 9.3 receiving yards per game.
