Ark Valley-Chisholm Trail Division II 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!
Carter Pabst Crosses Big Stat Threshold
On Friday, Eisenhower got the W thanks in part to Carter Pabst playing the best football he has all season. Pabst picked up 154 receiving yards and five touchdowns. Thanks to that strong showing, he's now averaging 2.3 receiving touchdowns per game.
Arkansas City's probably not too fond of Pabst given he always seems to get the better of them. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Pabst saw the Bulldogs), he picked up 129 receiving yards and three touchdowns.

Derek Morgan Turns in Season-Best Effort
Eisenhower was led to victory by Derek Morgan, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Morgan threw for 240 yards and five touchdowns while completing 86.7% of his passes, and also rushed for 36 yards. The effort marked the most rushing yards he has had since back in November of 2023. He is on a roll when it comes to passing touchdowns, as he's now passed for three or more in the last seven games he's played dating back to last season.
Morgan must have Arkansas City's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. When Morgan last faced the Bulldogs back in October of 2023, he threw for 282 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 14.1 yards per attempt.

Erik Olivas Delivers Best Performance of Season
Erik Olivas produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Goddard to the win on Friday. Olivas rushed for 164 yards and two touchdowns on only nine carries. His longest rush was for an impressive 64 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
The win (which was Goddard's fourth in a row) raised their record to 5-1. Olivas and Goddard will look to defend their home field on Friday against Arkansas City at 7:00 p.m.

Maddox Archibald Goes Supernova in Andover Central Win
Andover Central found a leader in Maddox Archibald as the team took down Salina Central on Friday. Salina Central had no answer to Archibald as he rushed for 147 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 8.6 yards per carry. Archibald's longest rush was for an incredible 71 yards.
A feisty cat fight will be fought when Jaguars dukes it out withEisenhower at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The last time Archibald took on the Tigers, he rushed for 103 yards and a touchdown. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

Another Game with at Least Six Total Tackles from Makai Tagatac
Makai Tagatac produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Eisenhower to the win on Friday. Tagatac wasn't messing around, picking up three sacks, making nine total tackles, and defending a pass. The matchup was his third straight with six or more total tackles dating back to last season.
On the year, Tagatac has averaged 8 total tackles per game and for the season has 5 sacks. He is looking even better than he did last year: after six games last season, he had 2.5 sacks.
