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 Defeat
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.
Unfortunately for South, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Meyer. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Meyer saw the Titans), he rushed for 138 yards and two touchdowns on only ten carries.

Mason Came Up Big in Northwest's 38-17 Loss
While Jaylen Mason delivered a dominant effort on Friday, a win just wasn't in the cards for Northwest. Mason was dynamite, rushing for 94 yards and a touchdown, while also throwing for 113 yards on five of 18 attempts.
Northwest's and South will meet in a classic North v. South matchup at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The Grizzlies got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Titans, probably because Mason had a solid game then too: he threw for 160 yards and three touchdowns while completing 77.8% of his passes. Can he match (or beat) that performance?
