Big Game from Wilhelm As Blue Springs South Won 41-24
Winning always takes teamwork, but on Friday Ayden Wilhelm stepped things up a notch to give Blue Springs South the 'W'. Liberty had no answer to Wilhelm as he threw for 152 yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed 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. Wilhelm threw for 202 yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 53 yards and a touchdown on only five carries the last time he and the Blue Jays duked it out back in November of 2023.

Kendrick Hawkins JR's Big Game Leads Blue Springs South over Liberty
Keeping Wilhelm company is Kendrick Hawkins JR, a fellow Blue Springs South player. He rushed for 144 yards and a touchdown.
If history really does repeat itself, Hawkins JR might just drop another big game when he faces off against Blue Springs on Friday. 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
Another Lee's Summit player making an appearance on this list is Peyton Hatfield. He picked up 140 receiving yards and a touchdown.
