1B Northwest (8 Man) Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances across Friday and Saturday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
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's probably not too fond of Rider given he always seems to get the better of them. 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 Delivers Best Effort of Season
Jakob Lofton produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Concrete to the win 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 showed off some serious burst, cutting through the defense on one rush that went for 65 yards.
Unfortunately for Muckleshoot Tribal, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Lofton. 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.

Neah Bay Wins Fifth-Straight Thanks to Jodell Wimberly
Neah Bay picked up their fifth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Jodell Wimberly. Wimberly turned in nothing short of a gem, 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. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Wimberly saw the Blackhawks), he rushed for 155 yards and two touchdowns.
Gamescore: 46.25
Evans Posts Huge Game in 48-8 Win
Robert Evans was instrumental in extending Quilcene's winning streak to four on Saturday. Evans was dynamite, rushing for 20 yards and two touchdowns, while also picking up 35 receiving yards and a touchdown. He also put in work on the defensive side of the ball, making seven total tackles and defending a pass.
Quilcene's win was their fourth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 6-1. Evans and Quilcene are taking a road trip to take on Crescent at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday.
