The first two wins over Oklahoma and Wichita came largely to the credit of both kick returner O. J. Simpson (unrelated to the NFL running back) who earned CPIFL Special Teams player of the week honors after scoring two touchdowns on kick returns against Wichita,[3] and wide receiver Clinton Solomon who scored 4 touchdowns against Oklahoma and was named CPIFL Offensive player of the week on that day.
Xavier Lee also led the team to victory against Wichita despite setting foot in Kansas City for the first time only a few days before the game.
