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!
A Season-Best Performance from Derek Morgan Leads Eisenhower over Northwest
On Friday, Eisenhower had to settle for second even though Derek Morgan put up the best numbers he has all season. Morgan rushed for 71 yards and two touchdowns on only eight carries, and also threw for 311 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 12.0 yards per attempt, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
Eisenhower's defeat ended a ten-game streak of wins at home dating back to last season and dropped them to 6-2. Morgan will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant effort when he faces off against Emporia on Thursday.

Archibald Posts Huge Game in 31-13 Win
Maddox Archibald's big game helped extend Andover Central's winning streak to three on Friday. Archibald did his part (and then some), rushing for 169 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 9.9 yards per carry for the 'W'. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 75-yard run.
Andover Central's victory was their seventh straight on the road dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 7-1. A feisty cat fight will be fought when Jaguars dukes it out withEl Dorado at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
