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 Earns League's Top Spot
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 is on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four contests, which provided a nice bump to their 5-2 record this season. Gasseling will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant performance when he faces off against Quincy 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 produced his best game of the campaign on Friday: he rushed for 160 yards and three touchdowns. The dominant performance gave him a new career-high in rushing yards.
Grandview's first victory this season bumped their record up to 1-6. Montes De Oca and Grandview will square off against Tri-Cities Prep at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Rainer Made His Presence Known in Prosser's 26-7 Win
Prosser found a leader in Jacob Rainer as the team took down Othello on Friday. Rainer turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 20 yards and four touchdowns, while also throwing for 181 yards on 16 of 23 attempts.
Prosser is on a roll lately: they've won four of their last five contests, which provided a nice bump to their 4-3 record this season. Rainer and Prosser will have some time to savor their win since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Selah at 7:00 p.m. on November 1st.

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 showed off some serious burst, lighting up the secondary with a catch for 68 yards.
If history really does repeat itself, Stevens might just drop another big game when he faces off against Quincy on Friday. Stevens picked up 167 receiving yards and two touchdowns the last time he and the Jackrabbits duked it out back in September of 2023.
