Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances in games played from last Thursday through Saturday (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Jayden Stoddard Crosses Big Stat Threshold
On Friday, Wahkiakum got the W thanks in part to Jayden Stoddard playing the best football he has all season. Stoddard threw for 333 yards and six touchdowns while picking up 15.1 yards per attempt, and also rushed for 48 yards and a touchdown. Thanks to that strong showing, he's now averaging 3.3 passing touchdowns per game. He is on a roll when it comes to passing touchdowns, as he's now passed for three or more in the last three games he's played dating back to last season.
The win was the third in a row for Wahkiakum, bringing their record for this year to 4-3. Stoddard and Wahkiakum will square off against Chief Leschi at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

A Season-Best Performance from Gio Rodas Leads Oakville over Sound Christian
Gio Rodas produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Oakville to the win on Thursday. Rodas threw for 269 yards and four touchdowns on only 18 passes, and also rushed for 87 yards and a touchdown on only ten carries.
Sound Christian's probably not too fond of Rodas given he always seems to get the better of them. When Rodas last faced the Lions back in October of 2023, he threw for 280 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 12.2 yards per attempt, and also rushed for 61 yards and a touchdown on only seven carries.

This year, Resseau has thrown 7 touchdowns while averaging 139.2 passing yards per game.

Daniel Rodas Has Career Rushing Day
On Thursday, Oakville got the W thanks in part to Daniel Rodas playing the best football he has all season. Rodas picked up 132 receiving yards and four touchdowns, and also rushed for 55 yards and a touchdown, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He was no stranger to the big play, cutting upfield on a catch that went for 59 yards.
Sound Christian had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Rodas it was a similar story. When Rodas last faced the Lions back in October of 2023, he picked up 145 receiving yards and a touchdown.

Ben Kimbrel posted a new career-high in rushing yards on Thursday. He rushed for 161 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 7.3 yards per carry.
On the season, Kimbrel has averaged 32 receiving yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after six games last season, he was only averaging 30.5 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 66.67 rushing yards.
