Cordell Ball, WR, Oak Hills
Once again, the highly recruited three-star pass catcher is on the list, raking in seven passes for 104 yards and a score last Friday evening.
Kenyon Norman, RB, Lakota West
It is nearly impossible to not include Norman on a weekly basis. This past week the Northwestern commit cataloged 203 yards on 14 carries and racked up four touchdowns.
