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!
Jojo Harrower's Big Game Can't Quite Lead Ashland over North Bend
Starting off the list is Ashland's Jojo Harrower, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Harrower rushed for 111 yards and a touchdown on only 11 carries, and also threw for 140 yards and two touchdowns. The dominant performance gave him a new career-high in rushing yards.
Ashland dropped their record down to 1-4 with the loss, which was their fourth straight on the road dating back to last season. Harrower and Ashland will welcome Marshfield at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Big Game from Van Gastel As Mazama Won 27-20
Thanks in part to Brody Van Gastel, Mazama said goodbye to their three-game losing streak. Marshfield had no answer to Van Gastel on Friday as he rushed for 75 yards and a touchdown, and also threw for 76 yards and two touchdowns.
Mazama's win bumped their record up to 2-3. Van Gastel and Mazama will have some time to savor their victory since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on North Bend at 7:00 p.m. on October 18th.

A Season-Best Effort from Lucas Folau Leads Marshfield over Mazama
Marshfield came up short on Friday despite Lucas Folau delivering his best game to date. Folau wasn't messing around, picking up three sacks, forcing two fumbles, and making six total tackles (4.0 for loss). The game was his third straight with six or more total tackles dating back to last season.
If the past is any indication, Folau could be in store for another big game when he takes on Ashland on Friday. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Folau saw the Grizzlies), he picked up two sacks, forced a fumble, and made five total tackles.
