Week Seven Players of the Week

JD Woods, Lawrence: The league's leading rusher had 21 carries for 294 yards and three touchdowns on Friday against Olathe Northwest. The impressive thing about his touchdowns is they came on runs of 48, 85 and 76 yards. Big plays are very much a part of Woods' running style. In fact, seven of his 11 touchdowns have come on runs of 44 yards or more.

Isaiah Ross, Leavenworth: As mentioned yesterday, Ross had a pretty solid showing on Friday night. The fourth-year starter recorded four tackles, three interceptions (one of which he returned 30 yards for a touchdown) and one pass deflection. Offensively he caught three passes for 74 yards and a touchdown, and he also added 38 rushing yards on eight carries. Hats off to Ross for the impressive showing, and his coaching staff for getting him involved in a variety of ways.

Week Seven Coach of the Week

Dirk Wedd, Lawrence: Wedd pressed the right buttons on Friday. After trading scores with Olathe Northwest for three quarters, the Chesty Lions put the final touchdown on the board late in the third, then held on for victory. What we're finally seeing from LHS is a team that's playing to its strengths -- running the ball and hunkering down on defense. Wedd and his club looked completely lost in week one, losing by 24 points to Blue Valley West, but they've gone on to win four of their last six games, and they have a good shot at making the playoffs.
