3A North Puget Sound Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances in games played from last Thursday through Saturday (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Cooper Rodarte Has Career-Day on Saturday
Starting off the list is Enumclaw's Cooper Rodarte, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. On Saturday Rodarte made eight total tackles (2.0 for loss), good enough to also set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 70-yard run.
The win was the fourth in a row for Enumclaw, bringing their record for this year to 4-1. Rodarte and Enumclaw will face off against Kent-Meridian at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

A Season-Best Performance from Colton Paulson Leads Enumclaw over Jefferson
On Saturday, Enumclaw got the W thanks in part to Colton Paulson playing the best football he has all season. Paulson picked up two sacks and made six total tackles.
For the season, Paulson has averaged 8 total tackles per game and for the season has 7 sacks. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 29.4 receiving yards per game. This year he is averaging 48.2 receiving yards.

Tristan Waterman Delivers Best Performance of Season

Tate Bowen Has Career Rushing Day
Tate Bowen produced his most outstanding game to date while leading White River to the win on Thursday.
