Jodell Wimberly Crosses Big Stat Threshold
Neah Bay was led to victory by Jodell Wimberly, who turned in his biggest game of the season 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. Wimberly rushed for 155 yards and two touchdowns the last time he and the Blackhawks duked it out back in October of 2023.

Perez-Lopez Came Up Big in Quilcene's 51-16 Win
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. When Perez-Lopez last faced the Loggers back in October of 2023, he rushed for 182 yards and a touchdown while picking up 9.6 yards per carry.

Big Game from Ellis As Neah Bay Won 68-16
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.
