1B Northwest (8 Man) Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances from Saturday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Neah Bay Gets a Boost from Cummins in 68-16 Win
Starting off the list is Neah Bay's Caleb Cummins, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Cummins rushed for 184 yards and three touchdowns on only 14 carries. The dominant performance gave him a new career-high in rushing yards.
The victory was the fourth in a row for Neah Bay, bringing their record for this year to 6-1. Cummins will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant performance when he faces off against Lummi on Friday.

Jodell Wimberly Crosses Big Stat Threshold
Jodell Wimberly produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Neah Bay to the win on Saturday. Wimberly rushed for 163 yards and three touchdowns on only seven carries, and also threw for 53 yards and two touchdowns on only five passes. He's now once again averaging 100+ rushing yards (110.4) per game. That's the most rushing yards he has posted since back in November of 2023.
Wimberly is probably looking forward to his next game, a home matchup against Lummi on Friday. When Wimberly last faced the Blackhawks back in October of 2023, he rushed for 155 yards and two touchdowns.

A Season-Best Effort from Jakob Lofton Leads Concrete over Charles Wright
Sadly, Jakob Lofton posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Concrete over Charles Wright on Saturday. Lofton picked up three sacks and made nine total tackles. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, picking up three sacks and making nine total tackles.
Lofton is probably looking forward to his next game, a home matchup against Muckleshoot Tribal on Friday. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Lofton saw the Kings), he picked up a sack and made 11 total tackles.
Gamescore: 64.03
Zach Link Delivers Best Performance of Season
Sadly, Zach Link posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Concrete over Charles Wright on Saturday. Link rushed for 154 yards and three touchdowns on only 11 carries, and also picked up 50 receiving yards and a touchdown. He is becoming a predictor of Concrete's success: when he posts at least 80 rushing yards the team is 2-1 (and 0-3 when he doesn't).
On the season, Link has caught 3 touchdowns while averaging 40.2 receiving yards per game.
Gamescore: 57.07
Josiah Rider Goes Supernova in Concrete Defeat
Another Concrete player making an appearance on this list is Josiah Rider. He rushed for 176 yards and a touchdown while picking up 10.4 yards per carry. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his fourth straight game with at least 176 rushing yards.
If history really does repeat itself, Rider might just drop another big game when he faces off against Muckleshoot Tribal on Friday. Rider rushed for 202 yards and four touchdowns on only five carries, and also threw for 50 yards and a touchdown the last time he and the Kings duked it out back in September of 2023.
