2A Central Washington 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!
Cody Gasseling Tops All Others This Week
Starting off the list is East Valley's Cody Gasseling, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Gasseling rushed for 178 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 9.4 yards per carry. He has become a key player for East Valley: the team is undefeated when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns, but 1-2 otherwise.
East Valley has been performing well recently as they've won three of their last four matchups, which provided a nice bump to their 5-2 record this season. Gasseling and East Valley will welcome Quincy at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Nathan Montes De Oca Puts an End to Grandview's Losing Streak on Friday
Thanks in part to Nathan Montes De Oca, Grandview said goodbye to their 14-game losing streak dating back to last season. Montes De Oca rushed for 160 yards and three touchdowns, good enough for us to rate the performance as the best he's had all season long. Those 160 rushing yards gave him a new career-high.
Grandview's first win this season bumped their record up to 1-6. Montes De Oca and Grandview will face off against Tri-Cities Prep at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Jacob Rainer Delivers Electric Effort Vs Othello
Jacob Rainer was a major factor in Prosser's win over Othello on Friday. Rainer was unstoppable, rushing for 20 yards and four touchdowns, while also throwing for 181 yards on 16 of 23 attempts.
For the season, Rainer has averaged 209.4 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had two rushing touchdowns. This year he is already up to 12.
Gamescore: 33.37
Greyson Stevens Makes It Two for East Valley
Another East Valley player making an appearance on this list is Greyson Stevens. He picked up 87 receiving yards and a touchdown. He got the majority of those receiving yards when he pulled down a pass and took off for a gain of 68 yards.
Stevens might have his next game, a road matchup with Quincy, circled on his calendar. Stevens picked up 167 receiving yards and two touchdowns the last time he and the Jackrabbits duked it out back in September of 2023.
