Yolo Salas Sets Career High in Rushing Yards
Starting off the list is Liberty Bell's Yolo Salas, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. On Friday Salas rushed for 191 yards and two touchdowns on only 15 carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
The victory (which was Liberty Bell's fourth in a row) raised their record to 5-1. Salas and Liberty Bell will face off against Brewster at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Big Game from Teague As Manson Won 28-0
Jaxon Teague was a major factor in Manson's victory over Tonasket on Friday. Teague was unstoppable, rushing for 130 yards and a touchdown while picking up 7.2 yards per carry.
Teague and Manson will be playing at home against Okanogan at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Teague will face off against David Huffstetler, the Bulldogs' star running back. 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.

For the season, Smith has run in those 1 touchdown while averaging 12.5 rushing yards per game.

Carter Kuchenbuch and Co. Win 20th in a Row
Carter Kuchenbuch was instrumental in extending Okanogan's winning streak to 20 on Friday. Kuchenbuch turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 55 yards and a touchdown, while also throwing for 46 yards and two touchdowns. He was no stranger to the big play, turning on the jets for a run that went for 55 yards.
Kuchenbuch is probably looking forward to his next game, a road matchup against Manson on Friday. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Kuchenbuch saw the Trojans), he rushed for 97 yards and three touchdowns on only seven carries.
