Collin Fischer, Olathe South: It's safe to say the Falcon senior has come out of nowhere to most outside of the Falcons' camp. On Friday he toted the ball 27 times for 184 rushing yards and two touchdowns. Fischer is generously listed at 5-foot-8 and 165 pounds, but he's lightning quick and very difficult to bring to the ground. Perhaps the most interesting thing about Fischer: he's committed to Rockhurst University to play lacrosse.
Duron Lowe, SM Northwest: Lowe is a yards-per-carry machine. As a sophomore he averaged 8.2 yards per carry on 66 carries, and so far this season he's averaging 11.2 yards per carry on 22 carries (it helped than on Friday his first two carries went for 80 and 92-yard touchdowns). He's battling some nagging injuries, so he didn't play the second half of Friday's game, but he still managed 202 rushing yards and two touchdowns on just 11 carries against SM North.
Week Two Coach of the Week
Chip Sherman, Olathe Northwest: The Ravens' complete effort against SM West (three touchdowns, one field goal, three takeaways, a blocked punt and a shutout) was impressive and another little glimmer of Sherman's impact on the grounds at K-7 and College Boulevard. Olathe Northwest didn't play their best football in the season-opener -- a loss to 4A opponent Hays. But Sherman kept the team focused, and this bounce-back victory was important for the team's psyche. It also sets them up well for a trip to Leavenworth on Friday.
