Oregon MVP’s- Week 1

&nbsp; <strong>PLAYER OF THE WEEK-</strong> [player_tooltip player_id="28887" first="Jack" last="Layne"] 22’ QB Lake Oswego- Coming into this season, Layne had one of the fastest rising stocks of any QB in the NW. He backed that up in a big way hitting on 72% passes, while throwing for 324 yards and 4 TDs, in the 40-7 win against a good Mountainside team. &nbsp; &nbsp; <strong>Stryder Todd-Fields</strong> 22’ ATH Central Catholic- One of the more underrated players in Oregon did not disappoint, striking early with a 98-yard kick return, followed by a 77-yard TD reception, and an 86 yd punt return negated by a penalty. CC came away with the 28-7 win over WA power Camas. [player_tooltip player_id="110187" first="Brock" last="Thomas"] 23’ QB Sheldon- As noted Thomas went off on Friday, accounting for 397 total yards and 5 TD’s (150 rushing/3 TDs). The 3* Jr. QB was the X factor in the teams 36-29 win over an improved Glencoe group. [player_tooltip player_id="28845" first="Royce" last="Fasel"] 22’ ATH/LB Glencoe- All everything athlete Fasel has moved to the QB spot which I would say is incredibly smart, considering his dominance anytime the ball is in his hands. Fasel averaged almost 10 yards per carry, rushing 29 times for 273 yards and 3 TDs, in the teams 36-29 loss to Sheldon. [player_tooltip player_id="28843" first="Malik" last="Ross"] 22’ ATH Tualatin- Ross did a little bit of everything, going for over 200 all purpose (148 rushing) and multiple TDs in the 44-33 win over Menlo Atherton in CA. He may be Oregon’s most versatile athlete and top return man. [player_tooltip player_id="110180" first="Mark" last="Hamper"] 23’ WR/WLB West Linn- The PRZ POY Candidate started the season out with a bang for the second year in a row, catching 9 passes for 143 yards with a TD. He was just as impressive on D with 2 tackles for loss and a clutch INT late. <strong>Will Wilson</strong> 23’ LB Tualatin- The 6-3 215-pound LB had a nice coming out party down in the Bay with 6 tackles, helping the T-Wolves to a big 44-33 win over the #5 team in the Nor Cali region. [player_tooltip player_id="144441" first="Zachary" last="Dodson-Greene"] 22’ WR West Salem 6-159-3 TDs- Green had a nice off season, and showed up big in the season opener, catching 6 passes for 200 yards and 3 TDs from talented 6-5 2022 QB [player_tooltip player_id="28844" first="Brooks" last="Ferguson"]. Expect Zach to be a potential conference &amp; state statistical leader. [player_tooltip player_id="143913" first="Logan" last="Smith"] 22’ QB Sprague- Smith had an impressive Junior Spring and justified his all-state status, throwing 5 TDs in the opener, in the teams 41-20 win at Corvallis. [player_tooltip player_id="28875" first="Hiro" last="Diamond"] 22’ QB Liberty- Not a lot of people know about Diamond, even as a three year all conference starter. His 6 TDs (4 passing) are a testament to his potential, as the Falcons trounced Aloha 56-0. [player_tooltip player_id="110209" first="Jordan" last="Fisher"] 23’ RB- Coach Atkinson talked about this kid early in his career and for good reason. Fisher averaged close to 15 yards per rush (13-196 2 TDs), as the Cats looked like the real deal, in the 49-0 win over Oregon City <strong>Pierce Davidson</strong> 22’ WR &amp; [player_tooltip player_id="28902" first="Dom" last="Montiel"] 22’ QB Marshfield- Remember the name as you can’t teach 6-7 195. Davidson had 5 receptions for 155 yards and 2 Td’s against Mazama. All coming from Oregon 4A POY favorite Montiel, who accounted for all 5 TDs (4 passing) in the teams 35-20 win. <strong>Malakai Nutter</strong> 23’ RB Bend- The 5-8 180-pound relatively unknown underclassmen had a nice opener, rushing for 186 Yards and 2 TDs, in the teams very impressive 27-7 win at home over Grants Pass. [player_tooltip player_id="28853" first="Jordan" last="McCarty"] 22’ QB Silverton- McCarty will be a legit 5A POY candidate and one of the top dual threat QB’s in the NW. The Foxes looked the part and then some, blasting PIL 6A favorite Grant 41-7, with McCarty passing for 322 yards and 3 total TDs (2 rushing). [player_tooltip player_id="110179" first="Drew" last="Rodriguez"] 23’ S/WR Sprague- As good as Rodriguez is at wide out where he caught two of [player_tooltip player_id="143913" first="Logan" last="Smith"]’s 5 TDs, I like him at Safety where he took another ball to the house, giving him 3 touchdowns on the evening in the 41-20 win over Corvallis. <strong>Kohler Hernandez</strong> 23’ RB &amp; [player_tooltip player_id="147249" first="Chase" last="Nelson"] 23’ QB Central HS- The Independence (OR) school has one of the top underclass duo’s in Oregon at the 5A level. Hernandez had a big night totaling 300 yards (190 rushing) with 3 TD’s, with Nelson throwing for 283 yards and 4 TDs, in the 40-24 win over Redmond. After a few down years they have some athletes to be excited about. <strong>Matthew Soles</strong> 22’ DB Canby- Look for the Cougars to be a 5A title contender. Soles played a key role on both sides of the football, picking off 2 passes, with a TD Offensively in the 26-20 win over Dallas. <strong>Chansse Lee</strong> 22’ ATH McKay- The Royal Scots ended a 10-game losing streak, with Lee returning as one of the best in Oregon at the 5A level. On the night he had 100+ receiving yards, multiple sacks, while also returning a kick in the 25-21 win over Putnam. &nbsp;
