2A Central Washington Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances from Friday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Cody Gasseling Earns League's Top Spot
Starting off the list is East Valley's Cody Gasseling, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Gasseling rushed for 178 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 9.4 yards per carry. East Valley is undefeated when Gasseling posts two or more rushing touchdowns, but 1-2 otherwise.
East Valley is on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four contests, which provided a nice bump to their 5-2 record this season. Gasseling's next match is against Quincy on Friday, where he'll look to repeat that solid performance.

Nathan Montes De Oca Puts an End to Grandview's Losing Streak on Friday
Thanks in part to Nathan Montes De Oca, Grandview said goodbye to their 14-game losing streak dating back to last season. Montes De Oca produced his best game of the campaign on Friday: he rushed for 160 yards and three touchdowns. Those 160 rushing yards gave him a new career-high.
Grandview's first victory this season bumped their record up to 1-6. Montes De Oca and Grandview will face off against Tri-Cities Prep at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Jacob Rainer Goes Supernova in Prosser Win
Jacob Rainer was a major factor in Prosser's win over Othello on Friday. Rainer turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 20 yards and four touchdowns, while also throwing for 181 yards on 16 of 23 attempts.
This year, Rainer has averaged 209.4 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 12.

Greyson Stevens Makes It Two for East Valley
The second East Valley player making an appearance here is Greyson Stevens, and for good reason. He picked up 87 receiving yards and a touchdown. He was no stranger to the big play, cutting upfield on a catch that went for 68 yards.
Stevens is probably looking forward to his next game, a road matchup against Quincy on Friday. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Stevens saw the Jackrabbits), he picked up 167 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
