1B Northwest (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!
Concrete Gets a Boost from Rider in 64-8 Win
Starting off the list is Concrete's Josiah Rider, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Rider rushed for 274 yards and five touchdowns on only seven carries. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 75-yard run.
Unfortunately for Muckleshoot Tribal, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Rider. Rider rushed for 202 yards and four touchdowns on only five carries, and also threw for 50 yards and a touchdown the last time he and the Kings duked it out back in September of 2023.

A Season-Best Effort from Jakob Lofton Leads Concrete over Muckleshoot Tribal
On Friday, Concrete got the W thanks in part to Jakob Lofton playing the best football he has all season. Lofton picked up three sacks and made eight total tackles, good enough to also set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He got the majority of those rushing yards when he took off on a run that went for an incredible 65 yards.
Unfortunately for Muckleshoot Tribal, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Lofton. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Lofton saw the Kings), he picked up a sack and made 11 total tackles.

Jodell Wimberly and Co. Win Fifth in a Row
Jodell Wimberly's big game helped extend Neah Bay's winning streak to five on Friday. Nobody could stop Wimberly as he rushed for 120 yards and four touchdowns on only ten carries. He continues to roll, besting his previous point total in each of the last four games he's played.
Lummi had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Wimberly it was a similar story. Wimberly rushed for 155 yards and two touchdowns the last time he and the Blackhawks duked it out back in October of 2023.
Gamescore: 46.25
Big Game from Evans As Quilcene Won 48-8
Rounding off our Top Five is Robert Evans of Quilcene. Evans rushed for 20 yards and two touchdowns, and also picked up 35 receiving yards and a touchdown. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making seven total tackles and defending a pass.
The win was the fourth in a row for Quilcene, bringing their record for this year to 6-1. Evans and Quilcene will challenge Crescent at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday.
