Based in Topeka, Kansas, the Top City Most Wanted are heading into their second year of competing in 7v7 tournaments. After a great start last year, they’re sure to be a team worth watching.
Founded and coached by Yansay Williams, the team pulls students from every school in Topeka, including Topeka West, where Williams is a coach. They also have recruited from Solena Central, Junction City, and even Missouri. Notable players include quarterback Logan Fulton, throwing for nearly 3000 yards while rushing for almost 900, Tremaine Savage, who was awarded defensive player of the year in the Meadowlark Conference, and safety Jones Erby, who coach Williams expects will become a vocal leader for the team.
Those leadership qualities, as well as the team’s bond, are both things coach Williams plans on emphasizing and strengthening over the course of this season. With more tournaments and traveling planned for the team than in their previous season, he hopes they will get the chance to work together on and off the field, developing communication skills along with improving their game. For Williams, 7v7 is not the end goal, but a way to help the team’s athletes grow faster, including for students relatively new to the game of football.
Top City is a competitive team, and the opportunities provided by 7v7 to travel to other states for tournaments and events has given them an exciting chance to face off against opponents they normally wouldn’t meet. Many of the team’s players look forward to seeing how they stack up against this new competition. With this competitive drive in mind, coach Williams says he feels the team is moving into this second season much faster than the first, with their athletes behind the team and their coach every step of the way.
Besides participating in many tournaments through the Spring, Top City Most Wanted will be hosting their very own “Topeka Takeover” in collaboration with MidAmerica 7v7 Football on May 30th!
