2A Greater St. Helens 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!
Elijah Andersen Delivers Best Effort of Season
Woodland was led to victory by Elijah Andersen, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Andersen rushed for 224 yards and three touchdowns, and also threw for 148 yards and a touchdown. The performance once again pushed his average rushing yardage north of 100 yards per game (116.6). That's the most rushing yards he has posted since back in October of 2023.
Andersen must have Hockinson's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. When Andersen last faced the Hawks back in September of 2023, he rushed for 183 yards and three touchdowns, and also picked up 136 receiving yards and a touchdown.

Tramayne Jenkins' Big Game Can't Quite Lead R.A. Long over Columbia River
While Tramayne Jenkins delivered a dominant performance on Friday, a win just wasn't in the cards for R.A. Long. Jenkins was unstoppable, picking up 162 receiving yards and a touchdown. He showed off some serious burst, cutting upfield on a catch for 60 yards.
Jenkins' next contest is against Woodland on Friday, where he'll look to repeat that solid effort. Jenkins will face off against Elijah Andersen on Friday, the Beavers' star running back. 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.
