<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='904426' first='Aaron' last='Bidwell'] 25' WR Marist </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>One of the most underrated players in the state for the 2025 class continues to kill it. Bidwell caught 8 passes for 183 yards and 2 TD's, helping Marist to a 47-0 win over an injury riddled & #1 ranked Cascade team. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='769989' first='Viggo' last='Anderson'] 26' RB West Linn </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Anderson is having a 1<sup>st</sup> team all-state season, going for 266 total yards (163 rushing, 103 receiving) and 2 TDs, against a good Tualatin team in the 56-26 win. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='402416' first='Lamarcus' last='Bell'] 26' RB Lake Oswego </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>As of right now probably Oregon's 6A POY. Bell continued his season long tear, rushing for close to 20 yards per carry in the 42-13 win over Oregon City. On the night he rushed 12 times for 208 yards and 3 TDs. </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>McNally has had a big senior season and that continued in the teams 34-20 win over previosuly undefeated Dallas. The versatile RB rushed 21 times for 173 yards and 3 TDs in the victory. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1103727' first='Wilson' last='Medina'] 25' RB Sherwood </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Potentially the Oregon 6A POY. Medina has played as well as anybody in the state, rushing 17 times for 206 yards and 4 TDs, in the 35-6 win over Liberty. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1423866' first='Mason' last='Chambers'] 25' QB Mt View </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Another kid who can play and is somewhat underrated. The 6-2 180-pound Chambers hit on 70% of his passes 19/27 for 229 yards and 2 TDs, in the 28-27 win over Summit. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='858318' first='Kenneth' last='Ritchie'] 27' CB West Linn </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Playing opposite one of America's best DB's in [player_tooltip player_id='632957' first='Josiah' last='Molden'] has been a net benefit for fellow 2027 standout Ritchie. The 5-9 160-pound corner had a clutch pick against #5 Tualatin, his 2<sup>nd</sup> of the season. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='937241' first='Cole' last='Hachmeister'] 27' RB Tualatin </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Hachmeister was a mid-season all-state selection as a sophomore. Even with the T-Wolves losing by 30 to West Linn, he carried 14 times for 114 yards, including a 79-yard touchdown. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='407439' first='Brody' last='Thomas'] 25' RB/LB Sheldon </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>One of Oregon's top LB's has been outstanding on offense. Thomas added 2 more TD's in the team's 63-6 win over #14 Grants Pass. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1544467' first='Travis' last='Ege'] 26' OL Crater </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Ege played out of his mind against 5* recruit [player_tooltip player_id='739439' first='Tony' last='Cumberland'] in the teams 36-14 loss to Willamette. The 6-3 220-pound junior tackle helped keep the Ducks commit in check, something no one else has been able to do. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='402407' first='Dylan' last='Brower'] 26' QB Clackamas</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Brower deserves a lot of credit as he has been one of the state's top QB's this season. The junior hit on 90% of his passes (18/20) for 370 yards and 6 TD's, in the 50-21 win over Gresham. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='770006' first='Joe' last='Stimpson'] 26' ATH Jesuit </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>What doesn't this kid do? Stimpson had multiple TD's to go with an INT, and his 4<sup>th</sup> kick return for a touchdown this season, in the 42-0 win over Southridge. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='511860' first='Max' last='Nowlin'] 25' QB Scappoose </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Definitely one of 4A's best. Nowlin has been on this list numerous weeks, going 23/30 for 261 yards and 5 touchdowns, in the 35-0 win over Astoria. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='904368' first='Ivan' last='Morales'] 25' LB Tigard </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Another defender who continues put up big numbers every week. Morales added 10 more tackles, with 2 tfl's, 2 forced fumbles, and a sack, in the team's 35-0 loss to #4 Lakeridge. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1544468' first='EJ' last='Cozart'] 26' WR Jefferson </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Look for Cozart to make a nice jump up on to the rankings board when updated. The 5-8 slot receiver had 10 catches for 135 yards and 2 TDs, in the Demo's 29-28 loss to Lincoln. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1286959' first='Kellen' last='Lefebvre'] 26' RB South Medford </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The 5-10 170-pound Lefebvre has a stock which continues to rise. On Friday he carried the ball 21 times for 185 yards and 2 TD's in the team's impressive 30-10 win over West Salem. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='904208' first='Zeke' last='Thomas'] 28' QB Crescent Valley /[player_tooltip player_id='285872' first='Truman' last='Brasfield'] 25' WR Crescent Valley</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Crescent Valley is 2-6 on the year but Brasfield and Thomas have been two of the top players at the 5A level. Brasfield has had a phenomenal HS career adding 122 more yards receiving and 2 TDs. The freshman Thomas has been a statistical standout, totaling 220 yards and 3 touchdowns, in the 50-27 loss to Lebanon. </p>
