4A North Puget Sound Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances across Friday and Saturday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
A Season-Best Performance from Andrew Wold Leads Auburn Riverside over Kentridge
Andrew Wold produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Auburn Riverside to the win on Friday. Wold rushed for 135 yards and three touchdowns, and also threw for 208 yards and three touchdowns on only ten passes, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. The bulk of those rushing yards came from one huge play: a run that gained an incredible 75 yards.
For the season, Wold has thrown 8 touchdowns while averaging 143.6 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had two rushing touchdowns. This year he is already up to five.

Jones Posts Huge Game in 42-20 Win
Kennedy Catholic picked up their seventh consecutive win on Saturday thanks in part to Indiana Jones. Nobody could stop Jones as he rushed for 168 yards and four touchdowns. He is on a roll when it comes to rushing touchdowns, as he's now punched in two or more in the last five games he's played dating back to last season.
Jones is probably looking forward to his next game, a road matchup against Kentridge on Friday. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Jones saw the Chargers), he rushed for 111 yards and two touchdowns on only 12 carries, and also picked up 52 receiving yards and a touchdown.
Gamescore: 56.90
Big Game from Sum As Stadium Fell 42-20
While Darius Sum delivered a dominant performance on Saturday, a win just wasn't in the cards for Stadium. Sum was dynamite, rushing for 175 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 7.6 yards per carry.
Sum and Stadium will challenge Auburn Riverside at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday. The game will pit Sum up against the Ravens' star WR Cole Svedsen. With so much talent on the field, fans are surely in for an exciting game. The only thing left to see is who brings home the W.

Jonathan Epperson Jr Makes It Two for Auburn Riverside
The second Auburn Riverside player making an appearance here is Jonathan Epperson Jr, and for good reason. He made three total tackles. He showed off some serious burst, connecting on a big catch for 60 yards.

Kennedy Catholic Wins Seventh-Straight Thanks to Nikko Lecksiwilai
Nikko Lecksiwilai's big game helped extend Kennedy Catholic's winning streak to seven on Saturday. Lecksiwilai turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 56 yards and a touchdown on only six carries.
Lecksiwilai and Kennedy Catholic will face off against Kentridge at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday. The Lancers got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Chargers, probably because Lecksiwilai had a solid game then too: he rushed for 61 yards and a touchdown on only five carries. Can he match (or beat) that performance?
