Ronaldo Gomez Tops All Others This Week
Starting off the list is Rimrock's Ronaldo Gomez, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Gomez rushed for 211 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 13.2 yards per carry, and also threw for 285 yards and five touchdowns while completing 76.5% of his passes.
The victory (which was Rimrock's third in a row) raised their record to 5-2. Gomez will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant effort when he faces off against Centennial Baptist on Thursday.
Gamescore: 96.85
Kas Bachman Makes It Two for Rimrock
Keeping Gomez company is Kas Bachman, a fellow Rimrock player. He picked up 149 receiving yards and a touchdown. He showed off some serious burst, connecting on a big catch for 52 yards.
For the year, Bachman has caught 7 touchdowns while averaging 79.8 receiving yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he had two receiving touchdowns.

Kamiah Gets a Boost from Kludt in 46-12 Win
Kamiah found a leader in Dave Kludt as the team took down Potlatch on Friday. Kludt turned in nothing short of a gem, throwing for 278 yards and two touchdowns while completing 88.2% of his passes, and also rushing for 42 yards and a touchdown.
If the past is any indication, Kludt could be in store for another big game when he takes on Lapwai on Friday. When Kludt last faced the Wildcats back in August, he rushed for 93 yards and three touchdowns on only six carries, and also threw for 206 yards and two touchdowns on only 12 passes.
