<p>[player_tooltip player_id='632957' first='Josiah' last='Molden'] 27' DB & West Linn D</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The West Linn D has been off the charts good with the All American Molden helping to lead. The Lions have not allowed a point to an Oregon team this season, with three shutouts in a row and four overall. The Sophomore's INT in the endzone helped West Linn seal the deal, in a 13-0 win over #5 Lakeridge. </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1094734' first='Landon' last='Kelsey'] 25' WR/S Central Catholic</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>What can't this kid do. One of the NW's top WR's decided to play a little D this week, taking (2) INT's to the house (35 & 95 yards) in the 37-12 win over #8 Nelson. It's always nice to have a 6-4 ball hawk at Safety. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='408638' first='Brody' last='Borrevik'] 25' DE Sheldon </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Borrevik could very well be the conference player of the year on D. He had another outstanding night, finishing with 7 tackles, 2 sacks, and 2 hurries in one half of play. They destroyed South Salem 68-13. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1110957' first='Heath' last='Thompson'] 26' RB/ [player_tooltip player_id='1200829' first='Peyton' last='Read'] 25' TE Westview </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Westview has improved a great deal over the last few weeks, as shown with their 35-28 comeback win in OT over Sunset. The Cats were down by 21 in the 4th quarter, with Thompson carrying the load out of the backfield. On the night he rushed 20 times for 154 yards and 4 TDs, with the 6-6 TE Read continuing to kill it while making 9 catches for 113 yards. </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1528941' first='Kellen' last='Elliott'] 26' DE /[player_tooltip player_id='1528942' first='Connor' last='Conneely'] 26' DB Summit </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Summit has become a consistent 5A power in Oregon but they are young this season. The Storm D showed up big on Friday with two juniors leading the way in the 21-6 win over Bend. The 6-3 210 pound DE Elliott had two forced fumbles, with Conneely picking off 2 passes. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1103727' first='Wilson' last='Medina'] 25' RB Sherwood 2-94-2 TDs </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Credit to the Bowmen for showing some mercy on Century in the 43-6 win. Medina continued his state player of the year type season, averaging 47 yards per carry on 2 rushes, both for touchdowns. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1103441' first='Maveryck' last='Akers'] 26' RB Willamette </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Yes Willamette had a lot of people transfer in, but it's still impressive what they have done thus far. The Wolverines went winless last season and are currently sitting at 6-0, listed as one of the top 5A teams in Oregon. Akers didn't hold anything back playing against his old team, finishing with 5 TDs in the 41-21 win over Roseburg. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='278532' first='Calvin' last='Evans'] 25' LB Tualatin </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Evans continues to be one of the most versatile overall athletes in the NW. Separate from being one of the region's top kickers, he has had a 1<sup>st</sup> team all state season on D, making 9 tackles, with 2 tfl's, 2 forced fumbles, and a sack in the 38-6 win over #11 Oregon City</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='285886' first='JoJo' last='Harrower'] 25' QB Ashland </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>One of the top ranked QB's in the state for his class doesn't get a lot of pub playing down South but continues to do well. The 6-5 four-year starter threw for another 4 TD's with the Grizzlies coming up just short to Marshfield 41-33. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1528939' first='Marcos' last='Mueller'] 26' WR Valley Catholic </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Most people won't be aware of the 3A talent yet, but Mueller can play. The 6-2 170-pound Junior caught 5 passes for 127 yards in the 34-13 loss to a top 10 Yamhill-Carlton team. Look for him to make a nice jump on to the PRZ rankings board when updated, as he has been impressive all year. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1232743' first='Daniel' last='Heninger'] 26' RB Glencoe </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Coach Ian Reynoso called this a few years ago. The Junior Heninger is the real deal, with the Crimson Tide riding him for 32 carries and 315 yards, to go with 3 TDs in the 35-20 win over Forest Grove. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='412221' first='Tyler' last='Hart-McNally'] 25' ATH West Albany </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>One of the top dual threat kids in Oregon regardless of classification. Hart-McNally rushed 9 times for 136 yards and 2 TDs, also catching 2 passes for 33, in the 36-6 win over Corvallis. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='511860' first='Max' last='Nowlin'] 25' QB Scappoose </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The big 6-4 QB is a three-year starter and continues to look like one of the top QB's in Oregon. Nowlin hit on 11 of 11 passes for 301 yards and 5 TD's in one half, during the teams 46-0 win over St Helens. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='796694' first='Jordan' last='Rossetta'] 27' QB Grants Pass </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The excitement continues in GP. Give coach Brad Page and Rossetta a lot of credit with the Cavemen sitting at 5-1 and beating a decent Liberty team 52-28. On the night the sophomore QB finished 25 of 41 passing for 297 yards and 4 TDs. They will get a test this coming week against 6-0 Sprague. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1451506' first='Nolan' last='Hudgins'] 25' QB Forest Grove </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Just a good overall athlete who very few know about. Hudgins continues to have a great year, going 29/39 for 360 yards and 3 TDs, in the 35-20 loss to Glencoe. </p>
