COLBY, Kan. – Wins in the regular season finales for Butler Community College and Hutchinson Community College have led to the final Kansas Jayhawk Community College Conference Football Player of the Week awards for Grizzly players Nolan Chambers and Mason Teague, along with Blue Dragon linebacker Teegan Haines.

Nolan Chambers (Butler) – KJCCC Football Offensive Player of the Week
Butler's Nolan Chambers delivered a career performance in Saturday’s dramatic comeback win over number eight Iowa Central. The redshirt sophomore hauled in four receptions for 148 yards and two touchdowns, both coming in the final 2:25 of the game. On the first play of the Grizzlies’ drive while trailing 24-14, Chambers broke free for a 61-yard touchdown to cut the Tritons’ lead to 24-21. After the defense forced a quick three-and-out, Chambers struck again—this time with the eventual game-winning score at the 1:40 mark. The Grizzly defense sealed the victory with back-to-back sacks, forcing a turnover on downs and securing the 28-24 triumph in thrilling fashion.
