Top 4A Performances of Week 5

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Kristopher Baldwwin - Jr, RB, Mazama</strong>&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>163 yards rushing and two touchdowns for Baldwin against Ashland. It's time to start talking about where Baldwin stacks up in terms of eventual all-state selections. The kid is not afraid to lay the lumber when called upon and has no lack of speed. White and Whitlock might be the top-tier, but Baldwin is knocking on the door. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1112406' first='Ryder' last='Jackson'] - So, RB, Seaside</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Another running back making noise and knocking on the door of the top tier. Four touchdowns against Tillamook for the sophomore speedster, largely the one compensating for the lost production of [player_tooltip player_id='511862' first='Jake' last='White'] who was out with an injury. He is the perfect Wing-T sweep back: Fast, hard to see through the muck of a multi-fake mesh, and slippery when he has a full head of steam. He isn't the biggest or strongest of backs–afterall, he is just a sophomore–but that might be working out to his advantage more than it is hurting him right now.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='738727' first='Logan' last='Whitlock']- SR, RB, Henley</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It's getting ridiculous. Four Touchdowns for Whitlock against Hidden Valley, accounting for all but one of the Hornets' scores. Can anyone in 4A stop this guy? Is it going to take sending all 11 defenders right at him every play to keep him under two scores in a game? Should be getting FBS interest by the end of the season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Mason King - Jr, QB, Molalla</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Two touchdowns for King against Estacada, one on a 40 yard quarterback sneak. The Indians are a legit football team capable of winning multiple playoff games largely because King is such a threat under center both running and throwing. Tall, agile, difficult to tackle, can deliver a hit, can throw a great ball. There's a lot to like here.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
