Players to watch on offense for McKinley football: Kyelin West

The sophomore is the Federal League’s leading rusher with 844 yards. He averages 6.5 yards a carry and has scored seven touchdowns. West has eclipsed 100 yards rushing four times this season, including 114 yards and a touchdown on 25 carries last week. West isn’t the biggest running back at 5-9, 170 pounds, but he runs with ferocity and can pull away from defenders if he breaks into the open.

Player to watch on defense for Lake football: Grady Widner

Widner (5-10, 200) leads Lake with 60 total tackles and 6.5 TFLs. The senior linebacker adds a pair of sacks.

Player to watch on offense for Lake football: Alex Quior

The senior quarterback is coming off a season-high 270 passing yards last week. He was 15-of-26 with two touchdowns and one interception. Quior has thrown for 1,254 yards, 12 touchdowns and three interceptions this season, completing 61.2 percent of his passes. Lake doesn’t run Quior a ton, but he can move. He averages 5.8 yards a carry and has scored four TDs on the ground.

Player to watch on defense for McKinley football: Antonio Stevens

The junior linebacker is McKinley’s leader in total tackles (61) and tackles for loss (12). At 5-11, 230 pounds, Stevens plays downhill and he packs a punch when he gets to the ball.
