SPECIAL TEAMS PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Caleb Brickhouse, Hutchinson
Hutchinson Community College Community College freshman punter Caleb Brickhouse averaged 30.5 yards on six punts in No. 1 Hutchinson's 23-7 win over No. 3 Garden City. That punt average doesn't tell Brickhouse's entire story. For two quarters, Brickhouse had to put into a gusty 25 mph house wind – the game saw a minus 24-yard run in the game because of the wind. Brickhouse had key 40-yard punt into that wind that turned the field over with the Blue Dragons owning only a 17-7 lead. Those 30.5 yards were a net punting average.
Others Nominated: None
