1B Southwest (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!
A Season-Best Effort from Jayden Stoddard Leads Wahkiakum over Ocosta
On Friday, Wahkiakum got the W thanks in part to Jayden Stoddard playing the best football he has all season. Stoddard threw for 274 yards and five touchdowns on only 16 passes, and also rushed for 94 yards and a touchdown. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 80-yard run.
For the season, Stoddard has thrown 14 touchdowns while averaging 198 passing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after five games last season, he was only averaging ten passing yards per game.

Kona Resseau Dazzles in Sound Christian Win
Winning always takes teamwork, but on Saturday Kona Resseau stepped things up a notch to give Sound Christian the 'W'. Resseau turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 185 yards and four touchdowns on only eight carries, while also throwing for 178 yards and two touchdowns on only 11 passes. His longest rush was for an incredible 70 yards.
Sound Christian's win ended a four-game drought at home dating back to last season and bumped them up to 3-1. Resseau and Sound Christian will square off against Oakville at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday.
Gamescore: 85.82
Another Game with at Least Two Receiving Touchdowns from Daniel Rodas
Daniel Rodas produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Oakville to the win on Friday. Rodas wasn't messing around, picking up 312 receiving yards and four touchdowns. The match was his fifth straight with two or more receiving touchdowns dating back to last season. His longest reception was for an incredible 88 yards.
Taholah's probably not too fond of Rodas given he always seems to get the better of them. Rodas picked up 212 receiving yards and a touchdown the last time he and the Chitwhins duked it out back in September of 2023.
Gamescore: 64.70
Rodas Posts Huge Game in 32-30 Win
Another Oakville player making an appearance on this list is Gio Rodas. He threw for 378 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 12.2 yards per attempt, and also rushed for 38 yards. He didn't just play on offense: he also made seven total tackles (1.0 for loss) and defended a pass.
If the past is any indication, Rodas could be in store for another big game when he takes on Sound Christian on Saturday. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Rodas saw the Lions), he threw for 280 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 12.2 yards per attempt, and also rushed for 61 yards and a touchdown on only seven carries.

Ronin Rutzer's Big Game Can't Quite Lead Ocosta over Wahkiakum
Rounding off our Top Five is Ronin Rutzer of Ocosta. Rutzer rushed for 169 yards and two touchdowns, and also picked up 33 receiving yards.
Ocosta's defeat dropped their record down to 3-2. Rutzer and Ocosta will get a bit of extra time to process the loss as their next game is a ways off. They'll take on Naselle at 7:00 p.m. on October 25th.
