4A South Puget Sound - North Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances in games played on Thursday and Friday (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Boone Posts Huge Game in 42-22 Defeat
Starting off the list is Rogers's Rashard Boone, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Boone rushed for 105 yards and two touchdowns on only 12 carries, and also threw for 214 yards on 21 of 36 attempts.
Boone and Rogers will have a little extra prep time after the defeat as they won't be playing again for a while. They'll take on Puyallup at 7:00 p.m. on October 18th. Boone will face off against Brayden Paulino, the Vikings' star signal caller. With so much talent on the field, fans are surely in for an exciting game. The only thing left to see is who brings home the W.

Joshua Moultrie's Rushing Yards a New Career-High
Emerald Ridge was led to victory by Joshua Moultrie, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Moultrie rushed for 121 yards and three touchdowns on only 15 carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
This year, Moultrie has run in those 3 touchdowns while averaging 57.6 rushing yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 5.4 rushing yards per game.

Kyson Douglas' Big Game Can't Quite Lead Puyallup over Sumner
Another Puyallup player making an appearance on this list is Kyson Douglas. He picked up 129 receiving yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 67 yards. He torched the secondary when he pulled down a catch that went for 70 yards.
Douglas must have Sumner's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Douglas saw the Spartans), he picked up 168 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
