Speer led with 2 INTs and numerous tackles as the defense caused 4 turnovers in the 33-14 win over Lincoln.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1165399' first='Tupu' last='Saleaumua']&nbsp;26' LB Lakes&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of the state's fastest rising junior prospects. Saleaumua had a phenomenal performance on D which included a late INT to seal the deal against a good Curtis squad 14-10.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='577733' first='Corey' last='Randall']&nbsp; &nbsp;25' DE Washington&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The big 6-4 230 pound DE has one of the fastest rising stocks of any defensive player in the 2025 class. His 7 tackles, 3 sacks, and 3 tfl's were a huge bright spot for Washington in week 2, losing 42-35 to (3-0) Steilacoom.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='693692' first='Beckett' last='Wall'] 25' LB Tumwater&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 6-3 210 LB had a player of the year type performance against one of the state's top 4A teams in Eastlake. On the night he made 14 tackles with 2 TFL's in the 38-27 win.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1476186' first='Norman' last='Ngonevolalath'] 25' DB Chief Sealth  </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The relatively unknown 5-9 DB had a big night. Ngonevolavoth's 2 INTs were the difference in the 24-7 win over West Seattle.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='693763' first='Malijah' last='Tucker'] 25' DL/ [player_tooltip player_id='1512530' first='Mekhi' last='Richardson'] Tumwater&nbsp; &nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Tumwater has dudes everywhere. Tucker, the EWU commit, made 5 tackles with 1 TFL and 1 fumble recovery. Richardson was all over the place as well with 9 tackles, 2 tfl's, and a sack in the 38-27 win over Eastlake.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Dominic Miller 25' DB Eastlake</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The talented baseball kid was impressive in the 23-7 win over a good Mount Tahoma team, finishing with 2 INTs. Eastlake had a tough loss to Tumwater but have talented athletes everywhere.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='348155' first='Joseph' last='Fuavai'] 25' LB O'Dea</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It's hard to select just one O'Dea defensive player with their loaded roster but the 6-4 LB has been outstanding. His 15-yard INT return for a TD closed out a lopsided 49-6 win over Rainier Beach in week 2.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='693723' first='Jaymar' last='Tasi'] 25' DL Roosevelt&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Tasi is the real deal. His dominance on the interior was obvious in the 50-0 shutout win over Blanchet. He finished with 9 tackles and a sack.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='928181' first='Marcus' last='Ronquillo'] 28' ATH Yelm&nbsp; &nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The fact that this kid is only a freshman is ridiculous. He didn't put up crazy numbers on offense, rushing 14 times for 48 yards and a TD but he was consistent. Defensively he had a big time INT late to help close out the 52-48 win over Kamiakin.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kade Haroldsen 25' DB/ATH Eastlake</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Haroldsen teamed with Dominic Miller in the secondary and also produced on offense. His clutch INT on D was key, along with an offensive TD and multiple other plays during the contest.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
