Keyana Cruse, Bonner Springs
Cruse has helped Bonner Springs to a 9-1 start in 2020, leading the Braves in kills and points. Last week, the senior notched 58 kills in three matches - including a big win over Spring Hill - along with three aces and 29 digs.
Cruse earned American Volleyball Coaches Association/Max Preps Kansas Player of the Week earlier in the season.
Tank Young, St. Thomas Aquinas
Young has been atop the Metro's rushing charts for the past three seasons. The senior helped carry the Saints to a 41-35 win over rival Bishop Miege with a monster 238-yard, 4-touchdown effort.
Young has 483 rushing yards and six TDs in two games, and has rushed for over 4,000 yards already as a Saint.
