Underclassman Jackson Woodard Major Player in Richland Win

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).
This season, Jackman has averaged 3.9 total tackles per game. It gets even more impressive: after seven games last season, 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 Effort 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. Richland is undefeated when Mackey posts two or more receiving touchdowns, but 1-2 otherwise.
If history really does repeat itself, Mackey might just drop another big game when he faces off against Chiawana on Thursday. When Mackey last faced the Riverhawks back in September of 2023, he picked up 184 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
Gamescore: 30.03
