4A Special District 4 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!
A Season-Best Performance from Kaleb Fox Leads Marshfield over Ashland
On Friday, Marshfield got the W thanks in part to Kaleb Fox playing the best football he has all season. Fox rushed for 159 yards and three touchdowns on only 13 carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. His longest rush was for an impressive 65 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
Marshfield moved to 1-5 with that victory, which also ended their six-game losing streak. Fox and Marshfield will welcome Hidden Valley at 7:15 p.m. on Friday.

Hadyn Widdicombe Turns in Season-Best Performance

Lucas Folau Puts an End to Marshfield's Losing Streak on Friday
Lucas Folau helped snap Marshfield's six-game losing streak dating back to last season. Folau did his part (and then some), picking up two sacks, forcing a fumble, and making seven total tackles for the 'W'. He is on a roll when it comes to total tackles, as he's now made six or more in the last four games he's played dating back to last season.
Ashland had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Folau it was a similar story. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Folau saw the Grizzlies), he picked up two sacks, forced a fumble, and made five total tackles.

Brody Van Gastel Makes It Two for Mazama

For the season, Van Gastel has thrown 6 touchdowns while averaging 80.5 passing yards per game.
