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!
Jojo Harrower's Big Game Can't Quite Lead Ashland over North Bend
Starting off the list is Ashland's Jojo Harrower, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Harrower rushed for 111 yards and a touchdown on only 11 carries, and also threw for 140 yards and two touchdowns. The dominant performance gave him a new career-high in rushing yards.
Harrower and Ashland will welcome Marshfield at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The last time Harrower took on the Pirates, he threw for 307 yards and a touchdown, and also punched in a rushing score. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

Van Gastel Made His Presence Known in Mazama's 27-20 Win
Thanks in part to Brody Van Gastel, Mazama said goodbye to their three-game losing streak. Van Gastel was unstoppable on Friday, rushing for 75 yards and a touchdown, while also throwing for 76 yards and two touchdowns.
On the season, Van Gastel has thrown 5 touchdowns while averaging 84.2 passing yards per game.

A Season-Best Effort from Lucas Folau Leads Marshfield over Mazama
On Friday, Marshfield had to settle for second even though Lucas Folau put up the best numbers he has all season. Folau wasn't messing around, picking up three sacks, forcing two fumbles, and making six total tackles (4.0 for loss). The matchup was his third straight with six or more total tackles dating back to last season.
If history really does repeat itself, Folau might just drop another big game when he faces off against Ashland on Friday. When Folau last faced the Grizzlies back in October of 2023, he picked up two sacks, forced a fumble, and made five total tackles.
