There wasn't a ton of movement in the power rankings this week, but there was certainly enough to keep things interesting. Among the action were the efforts of Mount Si's senior Cale Millen, an offensive menace who scored six total TDs.
Welcome
Yelm has been an offensive powerhouse for three straight weeks after the team lit up the scoreboard again last week. It took its contest against Peninsula by a conclusive 42 - 21 score. No one had a larger role in the success than junior Carson Amendt, who brought his A game into the contest. He earned three touchdowns and 154 yards rushing the ball. Thanks to its success, Yelm cracked into the power rankings and now occupies the 18th spot.
Can't Touch This
Adna's 49 - 6 win over Rainier last week had a lot to do with the leadership of junior Braden Thomas. Thomas ran for 131 yards and also punched in two touchdowns. That performance landed Thomas among the top power-ranked players for the week.
This Week's Big Showdown
One of the hottest tickets last week involved the clash between O'Dea (5th in the power rankings) and Rainier Beach (22nd). O'Dea took its game by a score of 35 - 24. One star in particular for it was senior Emonte Scott, who tossed the ball for 152 yards and two TDs.
No Stoppin 'Em
Lake Stevens was heavily favored to win coming into its game last week, and the results showcase why. The final score between it and Cascade was a 69 - 20 blowout in Lake Stevens's favor. Two standouts for Lake Stevens were senior Tre' Long and senior Thomas Lewis; the former threw for 164 yards and five touchdowns while the latter rushed for 111 yards and three touchdowns.
