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!
Carsen Nickelson Delivers Best Effort of Season
On Friday, Pittsburg got the W thanks in part to Carsen Nickelson playing the best football he has all season. Nickelson rushed for 74 yards and four touchdowns on only seven carries, and also threw for 88 yards and two touchdowns while completing 80% of his passes, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
This year, Nickelson has thrown 9 touchdowns while averaging 86.1 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had one rushing touchdown. This year he is already up to seven.
