Travis Martin

SCHOOL: Lincoln Prep

YEAR: Senior

In the de-facto Interscholastic League championship game, Martin scored four touchdowns and lifted Lincoln Prep to a 62-58 win against Central. Martin rushed for 306 yards and caught two passes for another 78 yards.

Dante Jackson

SCHOOL: Lawrence

YEAR: Junior

Jackson was all over the field in Lawrence’s 42-10 win over Olathe South last week. The quarterback rushed 13 times for 174 yards and two touchdowns, but was also efficient through the air: 6-of-8 passing for 176 yards and a touchdown. On defense, he had three tackles and a pass breakup. And a successfully executed fake punt for a first down was the cap to his night.
