Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances from Friday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Elijah Andersen Delivers Best Performance of Season
Elijah Andersen produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Woodland to the win on Friday. Andersen rushed for 224 yards and three touchdowns, and also threw for 148 yards and a touchdown. He's now once again averaging 100+ rushing yards (116.6) per game. That's the most rushing yards he has posted since back in October of 2023.
Unfortunately for Hockinson, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Andersen. When Andersen last faced the Hawks back in September of 2023, he rushed for 183 yards and three touchdowns, and also picked up 136 receiving yards and a touchdown.

Tramayne Jenkins' Big Game Can't Quite Lead R.A. Long over Columbia River
R.A. Long was sadly handed a defeat on Friday, but Tramayne Jenkins did his best to prevent it. Jenkins was dynamite, picking up 162 receiving yards and a touchdown. He was no stranger to the big play, lighting up the secondary with a catch that went for 60 yards.
Jenkins and R.A. Long will face off against Woodland at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Jenkins will face off against Elijah Andersen, the Beavers' star RB. 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.

A Season-Best Effort from Franklin Pihl Leads R.A. Long over Columbia River
