Kicking off the week was a Thursday night upset between Andover and the previously undefeated Salina Central Mustangs.
Andover jumped out to a 14-0 lead to get the game kicked off, and it was all Trojans from that point on. They went on to win 48-21 with the league championship on the line.
The Trojans, who moved to 5-2 with the win, were led by junior quarterback Will Quinn, who had four rushing touchdowns to help push their winning streak to five games.
The Maize Eagles jumped out to a lead 21-7 to put the game away early against Valley Center.
After a 41-17 lead at halftime, cruise control truly would be put on as they would stay undefeated, moving to 7-0 with a 68-34 win over Valley Center.
Andale stays on schedule with a 7-0 win over Trinity Academy 68-20.
Sterling lit up the scoreboard once again with a 75-33 win over South Sumner to stay undefeated.
Wichita Northwest won its third in a row, cruising past Wichita South 52-0.
Mulvane stayed hot with a 60-0 win over Coffeyville to move to 6-1.
SE-Saline dominated Halstead in a 55-14 win to stay undefeated.
Buhler moved to 5-2 after a 41-21 win over Winfield.
Hoisington stayed undefeated after a dominating win over Lakin 70-0.
Derby proved to be too much for Maize South. It was a close first quarter — 28-14 and Maize South cut it to 28-21 — but Derby scored 41 straight points en route to a 70-28 win and a 5-2 record. Derby quarterback Blade Clark ran for four touchdowns and had 176 rushing yards on 13 attempts, while Arieus Finley had 206 rushing yards on 12 attempts and three touchdowns.
