<p>[player_tooltip player_id='693729' first='Sage' last='Salopek'] 25' ATH/DB & <strong>O'Dea Defense</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A lot of credit to everyone on the O'Dea defense. Per usual Salopek was one of the leaders, making an INT and also returning a punt 41 yards for a TD, in their 20-0 shutout win over fellow contender Eastside Catholic. </p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1136399' first='Jake' last='Davidson'] 25' QB/ [player_tooltip player_id='1113094' first='Chase' last='McGee'] 25' WR Camas </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Davidson seems to be on this list every week and will be considered a conference and state POY candidate. On Friday he passed for another 7 TDs, hitting on 75% of his passes for 303 yards. McGee was clutch in the 48-14 win over Oregon City finishing with 143 yards receiving and 3 TDs.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='205682' first='Brock' last='Beaner'] 25' ATH Anacortes</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The returning POY did his thing against a solid Lynden program, finishing with 213 rushing/receiving yards and 3 TDs. Montana has to be stoked about what they are getting with him and his brother, considering their overall versatility. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='984855' first='AJ' last='Tuivaiave'] 28' QB Graham Kapowsin </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Tuivaiave ranks among the top QB's in the nation for the 2028 class, showing why in the 42-0 win over Bonney Lake. He has been consistent all year spreading the ball around, throwing 4 TDs to 4 different receivers on Friday. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1092123' first='Isaiah' last='Olson'] 26' ATH Glacier Peak </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The returning 1st team all-league DB has been killin it all year on both sides of the ball. On Friday he helped Glacier move to 4-0 with a 47-42 win over Post Falls, ID. Olson finished with 178 total yards and 3 TDs offensively. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1136370' first='Keegan' last='Mallon'] 25' RB Mead </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Mallon is one of the more underrated players in Washington. The 1st team all GSL returner went for 227 rushing/receiving yards and a TD, carrying the ball 24 times for 165 in the 27-7 win over Mt Spokane. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='693691' first='Nikko' last='Speer'] 25' LB / Beau Harlan 25' LB Camas</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The Papermakers D has been off the charts good all year, with the returning GSHL POY Speer landing his first D1 offer from Idaho. Harlan was equally impressive in the 48 -14 win over Oregon City, finishing with 12 tackles and 3 tackles for loss. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1512527' first='Jake' last='Vanpelt'] 27' DB Burlington-Edison </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Burlington-Edison moved to 1-3 but battled Sehome in the 28-20 loss. The talented baseball kid picked off two passes on D. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1165376' first='Jonah' last='Keller'] 26' RB / [player_tooltip player_id='1165359' first='Isaiah' last='Docken'] 26' WR Gonzaga Prep </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Two of the top 26's in Washington. Keller has one of the fastest rising stocks in the state, jumping up the PRZ rankings board. He carried the ball 4 times and scored 2 TDs, with the 6-3 Docken accounting for 90 receiving yards and 2 more touchdowns, in the 45-21 win over Cheney. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1512528' first='Tyler' last='Daniel'] 25' QB Lewis & Clark </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Daniel showed off his overall athleticism, hitting on 11/19 passes for 175 yards and 4 TDs, while also rushing for 112 yards, in the 38-2 win over University. They are now 3-1 with a big game coming up against Gonzaga Prep. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='928139' first='Parker' last='Myers'] 26' QB / [player_tooltip player_id='1165435' first='Jay' last='Sumich'] 25' WR Yelm </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Yelm seems to have different guys stepping up each week with the 5-10 Jr. QB Myers hitting on 13/15 passes for 275 yards and 3 TDs. Sumich was the biggest beneficiary of that with 3 catches for 103 yards and a touchdown, in the 42-7 win against Spanaway Lake. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1512530' first='Mekhi' last='Richardson'] 25'/ [player_tooltip player_id='693692' first='Beckett' last='Wall'] 25' LB Tumwater </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Both Wall and Richardson have been mainstays on the players of the week list the first month of the season. Richardson put up another ridiculous stat line with 12 tackles, 3 tfl's, and 2 sacks. The 6-3 LB Wall totaled 11 tackles with 3 tackles for loss, in the 49-12 win over a good 1A Nooksack Valley program. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1512533' first='Mason' last='Davis'] 25' ATH Monroe </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The 5-8 150-pound athlete averaged 47.5 yards per touch in the 49-0 win over Everett. On the night Davis carried 2 times for 133 yards and 2 TDs, with 2 receptions for 57 yards and another score. Unreal numbers. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1136331' first='Cooper' last='Rodarte'] 25' LB/ATH Enumclaw </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The big 6-2 220-pound LB continues to look like one of the top players in the state each week. His INT and 8 tackles on D, along with his 34-yard TD, helped pace his team in the 42-25 win over Federal Way. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1165356' first='Jadeon' last='Scranton'] 26' RB Lincoln </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The big 6-2 210-pound RB was one of the fastest risers on the PRZ rankings board a few months back, finishing with 3 TDs in the 26-6 win over Gig Harbor. </p>
