4A Special District 4 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!
Kaleb Fox Delivers Best Performance of Season
On Friday, Marshfield got the W thanks in part to Kaleb Fox playing the best football he has all season. Fox rushed for 159 yards and three touchdowns on only 13 carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. His longest rush was for an impressive 65 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
With the win, Marshfield broke their six-game losing streak and moved their record to 1-5. Fox and Marshfield will be playing in front of their home fans against Hidden Valley at 7:15 p.m. on Friday.

The victory got Mazama back to even at 3-3. Baldwin and Mazama will square off against North Bend on Friday.

A Season-Best Performance from Hadyn Widdicombe Leads Marshfield over Ashland
On Friday, Marshfield got the W thanks in part to Hadyn Widdicombe playing the best football he has all season. Widdicombe picked up 116 receiving yards and two touchdowns, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground. He torched the secondary when he pulled down a catch that went for 72 yards.
On the season, Widdicombe has caught 3 touchdowns while averaging 48 receiving yards per game.

Marshfield's Losing Streak Is No More Thanks to Lucas Folau
Lucas Folau helped snap Marshfield's six-game losing streak dating back to last season. Folau turned in nothing short of a gem on Friday, picking up two sacks, forcing a fumble, and making seven total tackles. He is on a roll when it comes to total tackles, as he's now made six or more in the last four games he's played dating back to last season.
Ashland's probably not too fond of Folau given he always seems to get the better of them. When Folau last faced the Grizzlies back in October of 2023, he picked up two sacks, forced a fumble, and made five total tackles.

Brody Van Gastel Makes It Two for Mazama

This year, Van Gastel has thrown 6 touchdowns while averaging 80.5 passing yards per game.
