2A Greater St. Helens 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!
A Season-Best Effort from Elijah Andersen Leads Woodland over Hockinson
Woodland was led to victory by Elijah Andersen, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Andersen rushed for 224 yards and three touchdowns, and also threw for 148 yards and a touchdown. The performance once again pushed his average rushing yardage north of 100 yards per game (116.6). That's the most rushing yards he has posted since back in October of 2023.
Andersen must have Hockinson's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Andersen saw the Hawks), he rushed for 183 yards and three touchdowns, and also picked up 136 receiving yards and a touchdown.

Tramayne Jenkins Dazzles in R.A. Long Defeat
R.A. Long had to settle for second on Friday, but Tramayne Jenkins sure wasn't going down easily. Jenkins was unstoppable, picking up 162 receiving yards and a touchdown. He showed off some serious burst, cutting upfield on a catch for 60 yards.
Jenkins and R.A. Long are taking a road trip to face off against Woodland at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The matchup will pit Jenkins up against the Beavers' star RB Elijah Andersen. Will the game be decided in the trenches? We'll have our answer very soon.
