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!
Kaleb Fox Delivers Best Effort of Season
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 look to defend their home field on Friday against Hidden Valley at 7:15 p.m.

The win got Mazama back to even at 3-3. Baldwin and Mazama will face off against North Bend on Friday.

Lucas Folau Puts an End to Marshfield's Losing Streak on Friday
Thanks in part to Lucas Folau, Marshfield said goodbye to their six-game losing streak dating back to last season. Ashland had no answer to Folau on Friday as he picked up two sacks, forced a fumble, and made seven total tackles. Folau 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's probably not too fond of Folau given he always seems to get the better of them. 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
The second Mazama player making an appearance here is Brody Van Gastel, and for good reason. He rushed for 62 yards, and also threw for 62 yards and a touchdown. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making four total tackles and defending a pass.
This season, Van Gastel has thrown 6 touchdowns while averaging 80.5 passing yards per game.
