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!
Jayden Stoddard Turns in Season-Best Performance
On Friday, Wahkiakum got the W thanks in part to Jayden Stoddard playing the best football he has all season. 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 (which was Wahkiakum's fourth in a row) raised their record to 5-3. Stoddard and Wahkiakum will be playing at home against Evergreen Lutheran at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

For the season, Leitz has caught 12 touchdowns while averaging 117.4 receiving yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 12.86 receiving yards per game.
