Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances from Saturday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Cummins Made His Presence Known in Neah Bay's 68-16 Victory
Starting off the list is Neah Bay's Caleb Cummins, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Cummins rushed for 184 yards and three touchdowns on only 14 carries. The dominant performance gave him a new career-high in rushing yards.
The victory was the fourth in a row for Neah Bay, bringing their record for this year to 6-1. Cummins' next game is against Lummi on Friday, where he'll look to repeat that solid effort.

Jodell Wimberly Crosses Big Stat Threshold
Jodell Wimberly produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Neah Bay to the win on Saturday. Wimberly rushed for 163 yards and three touchdowns on only seven carries, and also threw for 53 yards and two touchdowns on only five passes. He's now once again averaging 100+ rushing yards (110.4) per game. That's the most rushing yards he has posted since back in November of 2023.
Wimberly might have his next game, a home matchup with Lummi, circled on his calendar. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Wimberly saw the Blackhawks), he rushed for 155 yards and two touchdowns.

Mason Iverson Delivers Best Effort of Season
On Saturday, Quilcene got the W thanks in part to Mason Iverson playing the best football he has all season. Iverson rushed for 110 yards and two touchdowns. The performance marked the most rushing yards he has had since back in September of 2023. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 87-yard run.
The win (which was Quilcene's third in a row) raised their record to 5-1. Iverson and Quilcene will challenge Darrington at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday.

Quilcene Gets a Boost from Perez-Lopez in 51-16 Victory
Another Quilcene player making an appearance on this list is Andrew Perez-Lopez. He rushed for 43 yards and a touchdown, and also threw for 38 yards and two touchdowns. He didn't just play on offense: he also made three total tackles and defended a pass.
If history really does repeat itself, Perez-Lopez might just drop another big game when he faces off against Darrington on Friday. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Perez-Lopez saw the Loggers), he rushed for 182 yards and a touchdown while picking up 9.6 yards per carry.

Ellis Came Up Big in Neah Bay's 68-16 Victory
Adan Ellis put up the most rushing yards he's had since back in September of 2023 on Saturday. He picked up 30 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 50 yards. He showed off some serious burst, cutting through the defense on one rush that went for 50 yards.
Ellis must have Crescent's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. When Ellis last faced the Loggers back in September of 2023, he picked up 44 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground.
