1B Southwest (8 Man) Top Player Performances of the Week
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!
A Season-Best Performance from Jayden Stoddard Leads Wahkiakum over Chief Leschi
Wahkiakum was led to victory by Jayden Stoddard, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Stoddard rushed for 180 yards and two touchdowns on only nine carries, and also threw for 227 yards and four touchdowns on only 16 passes, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He is becoming a predictor of Wahkiakum's success: when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns the team is 4-1 (and 1-2 when he doesn't).
The victory was the fourth in a row for Wahkiakum, bringing their record for this year to 5-3. Stoddard will have a chance to log another big game when he takes on Evergreen Lutheran on Friday.
