Who had the best high school football performance in Kansas City? Vote now in Week 4 poll

The start of October marks the halfway point for some high school football seasons across Kansas City, which means teams are starting to make their playoff pushes.

They’ll need big-time performances from star student-athletes, like the ones featured in this week’s Player of the Week poll.

You can now decide which player had the best showing under the Friday night lights.

The Star is holding a weekly poll for readers to vote on their favorite student-athlete. The poll will be posted online each Wednesday, with voting open until Thursday night. The winner is announced each Friday.

To put together the poll, The Star asks high school football coaches around the metro for their nominations and looks at statistics posted by schools on high school sports websites like 810 Varsity and MaxPreps. The Week 3 winner was Basehor-Linwood High School senior Nick Doering.
