Jacob Korotkov Delivers Best Effort of Season
On Friday, Southridge got the W thanks in part to Jacob Korotkov playing the best football he has all season. Korotkov picked up a sack, made 18 total tackles (6.0 for loss), and defended a pass.
On the year, Korotkov has averaged 11.9 total tackles per game and for the season has 2 sacks.
Gamescore: 56.85
Southridge Gets a Boost from Borisch in 49-6 Win
Keeping Korotkov company is Gabe Borisch, a fellow Southridge player. He rushed for 235 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 8.7 yards per carry. His rushing production has been exceptional as that marked his fifth straight game with at least 107 rushing yards.
This year, Borisch has run in 10 touchdowns while averaging 158.4 rushing yards per game.
Gamescore: 47.70
Underclassman Jackson Woodard Major Player in Richland Victory
It was an underclassman who stole the show on Friday as Jackson Woodard came into the match on a mission. He turned in nothing short of a gem, throwing for 284 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 12.3 yards per attempt.
For the year, Woodard has thrown 27 touchdowns (and and only 3 picks) while averaging 256.9 passing yards per game.
Gamescore: 34.43
A Constellation of Stars for Southridge
Another Southridge player making an appearance on this list is Tayton Jackman. He made six total tackles (1.0 for loss).
On the season, Jackman has averaged 3.9 total tackles per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 0.14 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 50.14 rushing yards.
Gamescore: 30.45
A Season-Best Performance from Colson Mackey Leads Richland over Walla Walla
On Friday, Richland got the W thanks in part to Colson Mackey playing the best football he has all season. Mackey picked up 172 receiving yards and two touchdowns. He is becoming a predictor of Richland's success: when he posts at least two receiving touchdowns the team is undefeated (and 1-2 when he doesn't).
If history really does repeat itself, Mackey might just drop another big game when he faces off against Chiawana on Thursday. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Mackey saw the Riverhawks), he picked up 184 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
Gamescore: 30.03
Other Notable Players
- Jake Brannon: 76 yards rushing, 2 TDs (Gamescore: 27.78)
- Quinton Ellison: 2 sacks and 4 total tackles (3.0 for loss) (Gamescore: 19.25)
