Concrete Gets a Boost from Rider in 64-8 Win
Starting off the list is Concrete's Josiah Rider, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Rider rushed for 274 yards and five touchdowns on only seven carries. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 75-yard run.
Muckleshoot Tribal had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Rider it was a similar story. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Rider saw the Kings), he rushed for 202 yards and four touchdowns on only five carries, and also threw for 50 yards and a touchdown.

Jakob Lofton Turns in Season-Best Effort
Concrete was led to victory by Jakob Lofton, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Lofton picked up three sacks and made eight total tackles, good enough to also set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He got the majority of those rushing yards when he took off on a run that went for an incredible 65 yards.
Muckleshoot Tribal had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Lofton it was a similar story. Lofton picked up a sack and made 11 total tackles the last time he and the Kings duked it out back in September of 2023.

Jodell Wimberly and Co. Win Fifth in a Row
Jodell Wimberly's big game helped extend Neah Bay's winning streak to five on Friday. Wimberly was unstoppable, rushing for 120 yards and four touchdowns on only ten carries. He is trending in the right direction considering he's improved his point production for four straight games.
Unfortunately for Lummi, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Wimberly. Wimberly rushed for 155 yards and two touchdowns the last time he and the Blackhawks duked it out back in October of 2023.

The win (which was Quilcene's fourth in a row) raised their record to 6-1. Evans and Quilcene will square off against Crescent at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday.
