Suburban - Gold 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!
Brayden Layman Turns in Season-Best Performance
On Friday, Lee's Summit got the W thanks in part to Brayden Layman playing the best football he has all season. Layman wasn't messing around, throwing for 220 yards and four touchdowns while completing 73.3% of his passes. The contest was his third straight with three or more passing touchdowns dating back to last season.
The victory (which was Lee's Summit's fourth in a row) raised their record to 6-1. Layman and Lee's Summit will head out to take on Staley at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Big Game from Wilhelm As Blue Springs South Won 41-24
Blue Springs South found a leader in Ayden Wilhelm as the team took down Liberty on Friday. Wilhelm was unstoppable, throwing for 152 yards and two touchdowns, while also rushing for 76 yards on only six carries.
Wilhelm must have Liberty's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. When Wilhelm last faced the Blue Jays back in November of 2023, he threw for 202 yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 53 yards and a touchdown on only five carries.

Hawkins JR might have his next game, a home matchup with Blue Springs, circled on his calendar. When Hawkins JR last faced the Wildcats back in October of 2023, he rushed for 138 yards and three touchdowns.

Hatfield Made His Presence Known in Lee's Summit's 42-0 Victory
The second Lee's Summit player making an appearance here is Peyton Hatfield, and for good reason. He picked up 140 receiving yards and a touchdown.
Hatfield must have Raymore-Peculiar's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Hatfield saw the Panthers), he picked up 95 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
