Underclassman Jackson Woodard Major Player in Richland Victory

A Constellation of Stars for Southridge
Another Southridge player making an appearance on this list is Tayton Jackman. He made six total tackles (1.0 for loss).
This year, Jackman has averaged 3.9 total tackles per game. It gets even more impressive: after seven games last season, he was only averaging 0.14 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 50.14 rushing yards.
Gamescore: 30.45
Colson Mackey Turns in Season-Best Effort
Richland was led to victory by Colson Mackey, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Mackey picked up 172 receiving yards and two touchdowns. He is becoming a predictor of Richland's success: when he posts at least two receiving touchdowns the team is undefeated (and 1-2 when he doesn't).
If the past is any indication, Mackey could be in store for another big game when he takes on Chiawana on Thursday. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Mackey saw the Riverhawks), he picked up 184 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
Gamescore: 30.03
