1B Southwest (8 Man) 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!
Jayden Stoddard Turns in Season-Best Effort
On Friday, Wahkiakum got the W thanks in part to Jayden Stoddard playing the best football he has all season. Stoddard rushed for 180 yards and two touchdowns on only nine carries, and also threw for 227 yards and four touchdowns on only 16 passes, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. Wahkiakum is 4-1 when Stoddard posts two or more rushing touchdowns, but 1-2 otherwise.
The win was the fourth in a row for Wahkiakum, bringing their record for this year to 5-3. Stoddard and Wahkiakum will welcome Evergreen Lutheran at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
