1B Southwest (8 Man) 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!
Jayden Stoddard Delivers Electric Performance Vs Darrington
Jayden Stoddard's big game helped extend Wahkiakum's winning streak to seven on Saturday. Nobody could stop Stoddard as he rushed for 171 yards and three touchdowns on only six carries, and also threw for 200 yards and two touchdowns while completing 77.8% of his passes. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 79-yard run.
Stoddard is probably looking forward to his next game, a road matchup against Neah Bay on Saturday. When Stoddard last faced the Red Devils back in September, he threw for 217 yards and three touchdowns, and also rushed for 33 yards and a touchdown.
Gamescore: 84.58
Underclassman Ronin Rutzer Comes Up Big Against Tulalip Heritage
Underclassman Ronin Rutzer came into Friday's match looking to prove himself and that's exactly what he did. Nobody could stop he on Friday as he rushed for 141 yards and a touchdown on only 15 carries, and also picked up 50 receiving yards and a touchdown. His longest rush was for an impressive 58 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
Ocosta's win ended a three-game drought at home and bumped them up to 6-3. Rutzer and Ocosta will challenge Liberty Christian on Friday.
Gamescore: 60.62
Wahkiakum Wins Seventh-Straight Thanks to Mason Waldeck
Wahkiakum picked up their seventh consecutive win on Saturday thanks in part to Mason Waldeck. Waldeck was dynamite, rushing for 38 yards and a touchdown, while also catching a touchdown.
For the year, Waldeck has caught 6 touchdowns while averaging 28.7 receiving yards per game.
Gamescore: 31.07
Turner Posts Huge Game in 24-22 Win
The second Ocosta player making an appearance here is Kayden Turner, and for good reason. He threw for 176 yards and two touchdowns on only 14 passes, and also rushed for 37 yards. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making six total tackles and defending a pass.
This season, Turner has thrown 8 touchdowns while averaging 109.1 passing yards per game.
Gamescore: 27.48
Parker Leitz's big game helped extend Wahkiakum's winning streak to seven on Saturday. Darrington had no answer to Leitz as he picked up 132 receiving yards and a touchdown. Leitz didn't just play on offense: he also made five total tackles and defended a pass.
If history really does repeat itself, Leitz might just drop another big game when he faces off against Neah Bay on Saturday. When Leitz last faced the Red Devils back in September, he picked up 114 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
