6A Mt. Hood Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances from Thursday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Travis Hull's Rushing Yards a New Career-High
Starting off the list is Reynolds's Travis Hull, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. On Thursday Hull made six total tackles, good enough to also set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. That high mark didn't come from nowhere: he has now rushed for 119 or more in the last three games he's played dating back to last season.
For the year, Hull has averaged 5.8 total tackles per game.

Arnold Came Up Big in Gresham's 61-21 Defeat
Liam Arnold posted a new career-high in rushing yards on Thursday. He rushed for 146 yards and a touchdown on only 14 carries, and also threw for 130 yards on nine of 16 attempts. His longest rush was for an impressive 56 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
Gresham is on a three-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 1-5. Arnold and Gresham will look to defend their home field on Friday against Nelson at 7:00 p.m.

A Season-Best Performance from Caden Mcmahon Leads Sandy over Gresham
Sandy was led to victory by Caden Mcmahon, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Thursday. Mcmahon rushed for 116 yards and three touchdowns on only five carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
This season, Mcmahon has averaged 17.3 receiving yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had one rushing touchdown. This year he is already up to five.
Gamescore: 41.28
Mataio Olomua Makes It Two for Sandy
Keeping Mcmahon company is Mataio Olomua, a fellow Sandy player. He rushed for 105 yards and two touchdowns on only 11 carries.
This year, Olomua has averaged 22 receiving yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 31 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 121.83 rushing yards.
Gamescore: 29.08
Elliot Bruce Has Career-Day on Thursday
Elliot Bruce produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Reynolds to the win on Thursday. Bruce rushed for 58 yards, and also caught a touchdown, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
On the year, Bruce has thrown 1 touchdown (and no picks) while averaging 6.4 passing yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after five games last season, he was only averaging 2.2 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 19.8 rushing yards.
