2A Greater St. Helens 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!
Elijah Andersen Crosses Big Stat Threshold
Elijah Andersen produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Woodland to the win on Friday. Andersen rushed for 144 yards and four touchdowns on only nine carries, and also threw for 166 yards and three touchdowns while completing 72.2% of his passes. Thanks to that strong showing, he's now averaging 2.1 rushing touchdowns per game. He is on a roll when it comes to rushing touchdowns, as he's now punched in three or more in the last three games he's played.
Unfortunately for Hudson's Bay, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Andersen. When Andersen last faced the Eagles back in October of 2023, he rushed for 237 yards and five touchdowns on only 15 carries.

Elijah Franco Dazzles in Washougal Win
Winning always takes teamwork, but on Friday Elijah Franco stepped things up a notch to give Washougal the 'W'. Franco was dynamite, making seven total tackles (3.0 for loss) and defending three passes. He also punched in two rushing touchdowns, which is notable because Washougal is 3-1 when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns, but 1-2 otherwise.
Washougal now has a winning record of 4-3. Franco and Washougal will challenge Columbia River at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

He has become a key player for Washougal: the team is 3-1 when he posts at least 80 rushing yards, but 1-2 otherwise.
This season, Miller has run in those 1 touchdown while averaging 32 rushing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after seven games last season, he was only averaging 2.86 rushing yards per game.
