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.
Muckleshoot Tribal's probably not too fond of Rider given he always seems to get the better of them. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Rider saw the Kings), he rushed for 202 yards and four touchdowns on only five carries, and also threw for 50 yards and a touchdown.

Jakob Lofton Delivers Best Effort of Season
Jakob Lofton produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Concrete to the win 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 had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Lofton it was a similar story. When Lofton last faced the Kings back in September of 2023, he picked up a sack and made 11 total tackles.

Neah Bay Wins Fifth-Straight Thanks to Jodell Wimberly
Jodell Wimberly was instrumental in extending Neah Bay's winning streak to five on Friday. Wimberly turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 120 yards and four touchdowns on only ten carries. He continues to roll, besting his previous point total in each of the last four games he's played.
Lummi's probably not too fond of Wimberly given he always seems to get the better of them. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Wimberly saw the Blackhawks), he rushed for 155 yards and two touchdowns.

Quilcene Gets a Boost from Evans in 48-8 Victory
Robert Evans's big game helped extend Quilcene's winning streak to four on Saturday. Evans did his part (and then some), rushing for 20 yards and two touchdowns, while also picking up 35 receiving yards and a touchdown for the 'W'. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making seven total tackles and defending a pass.
Quilcene pushed their record up to 6-1 with the victory, which was their fourth straight at home. Evans and Quilcene will venture away from home to take on Crescent at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday.
