Ace Monihen's Rushing Yards a New Career-High
Starting off the list is Council Grove's Ace Monihen, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. On Friday Monihen rushed for 200 yards and four touchdowns on only ten carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. His longest rush was for an impressive 57 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
Council Grove pushed their record up to 5-1 with the victory, which was their fourth straight at home dating back to last season. Monihen and Council Grove will take on St. Marys at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
