Joshua Moultrie Sets Career High in Rushing Yards
On Friday, Emerald Ridge got the W thanks in part to Joshua Moultrie playing the best football he has all season. Moultrie rushed for 121 yards and three touchdowns on only 15 carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
This year, Moultrie has run in those 3 touchdowns while averaging 57.6 rushing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after five games last season, he was only averaging 5.4 rushing yards per game.

Douglas Came Up Big in Puyallup's 17-14 Loss
Another Puyallup player making an appearance on this list is Kyson Douglas. He picked up 129 receiving yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 67 yards. The bulk of those receiving yards came from one huge play: a catch that gained an incredible 70 yards.
Sumner had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Douglas it was a similar story. When Douglas last faced the Spartans back in September of 2023, he picked up 168 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
