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!
Big Game from Rider As Concrete Won 64-8
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.
Unfortunately for Muckleshoot Tribal, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Rider. 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 Turns in Season-Best Performance
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 showed off some serious burst, turning on the afterburners on one carry for 65 yards.
Unfortunately for Muckleshoot Tribal, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Lofton. 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's big game helped extend Neah Bay's winning streak to five on Friday. Lummi had no answer to Wimberly as he rushed for 120 yards and four touchdowns on only ten carries. Wimberly continues to roll, besting his previous point total in each of the last four games he's played.
Wimberly must have Lummi's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Wimberly saw the Blackhawks), he rushed for 155 yards and two touchdowns.
Gamescore: 46.25
Evans Made His Presence Known in Quilcene's 48-8 Victory
Quilcene picked up their fourth consecutive win on Saturday thanks in part to Robert Evans. Darrington had no answer to Evans as he rushed for 20 yards and two touchdowns, and also picked up 35 receiving yards and a touchdown. Evans didn't just play on offense: he also made seven total tackles and defended a pass.
Quilcene pushed their record up to 6-1 with the victory, which was their fourth straight at home. Evans and Quilcene will head out to challenge Crescent at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday.
