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!
Rider Made His Presence Known in Concrete's 64-8 Victory
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.
Unfortunately for Muckleshoot Tribal, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Rider. When Rider last faced the Kings back in September of 2023, he rushed for 202 yards and four touchdowns on only five carries, and also threw for 50 yards and a touchdown.

A Season-Best Effort from Jakob Lofton Leads Concrete over Muckleshoot Tribal
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 was no stranger to the big play, turning on the jets for a run that went for 65 yards.
Muckleshoot Tribal's probably not too fond of Lofton given he always seems to get the better of them. When Lofton last faced the Kings back in September of 2023, he picked up a sack and made 11 total tackles.

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. Lummi had no answer to Wimberly as he rushed for 120 yards and four touchdowns on only ten carries. Wimberly 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.
Gamescore: 46.25
Evans Came Up Big in Quilcene's 48-8 Win
Rounding off our Top Five is Robert Evans of Quilcene. Evans rushed for 20 yards and two touchdowns, and also picked up 35 receiving yards and a touchdown. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making seven total tackles and defending a pass.
The victory was the fourth in a row for Quilcene, bringing their record for this year to 6-1. Evans and Quilcene will square off against Crescent at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday.
