Two rushing scores for Boston against Ontario. Straight-line runner, not a ton of speed but just enough. Ontario was outmatched physically against Pendleton and the Bucks O-line was in control virtually the whole game, Boston took advantage. If the line and Boston can replicate their success in two weeks against Baker, the league title is theirs.
Griffyn Boomer Griffyn Boomer 6'1" | 175 lbs | WR Tillamook | 2026 State OR – So, WR/DB – Tillamook
Get this kid on your all-state lists, he’s earned a spot. A pick six that he made look effortless, a punt return TD in which he evaded the entire town of Astoria–nonetheless just the players on the field–a rushing TD, and a receiving TD for icing on the cake. It’s just silly what this kid is capable of as a sophomore. The ceiling is really, really high for him, and he’s not even close to it yet. There is still a ton of physical maturation that is going to happen in the next two years for him, throw in break-away speed and there is legit college potential here.
Leland Boswell – Sr, WR/DB – Scappoose
Three rushing TDs for Boswell against St Helens. Scappoose did just about everything they wanted to offensively, and Boswell was a large beneficiary of it. Scappoose’s air attack is one of the state’s best, having a run game that at least can be a threat will be essential to making sure they’re playing in late November. Against St Helens, the run game–led by Boswell–did more than their fair share in that department.
Tyson Van Gastel Tyson Van Gastel 6'3" | 210 lbs | DB Mazama | 2024 State OR – Sr, QB/DB – Mazama
Three rushing TDs for the best running QB in small school football. When the run game is going for Mazama, nobody shines brighter than this kid. Few football players—nonetheless quarterbacks—can plant his foot in the ground and work through traffic for a big gain like Van Gastel can. Having that weapon, not just fullback runs between the tackles or pitch outs to the edge, make the option truly unstoppable. If Mazama find themselves in the semifinals or farther–which is not unrealistic given the way things are shaping up and how they are performing–watch for Van Gastel to get serious first-team all state consideration.
