From game-changing touchdowns to lockdown defensive efforts, these are the players who defined Week 2 of the 6A season.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">PIL</h2>    <p class="text-gray-700">Lincoln's offense had no shortage of fireworks in its 47–12 win over Reynolds, and Timothy was at the center of it all. Timothy spectacularly showed his versatility, finding the end zone three different ways. He rushed for a touchdown, hauled in a receiving score, and capped it off with a pick-six on defense. Performances like this don't just help Lincoln win games; they set the tone for the entire program. Timothy's ability to impact the game on both sides of the ball makes him one of the most dangerous weapons in the PIL.</p>    <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Metro League</h2>    <p class="text-gray-700">In Jesuit's 34–21 victory over Tigard, Ortner carried the Crusaders on his back with a performance for the ages. Ortner rushed 38 times for 357 yards and three touchdowns, wearing down Tigard's defense with his physical, relentless style. Every time Jesuit needed a big play, Ortner was there to deliver, whether it was breaking through arm tackles or finding space at the second level. His workload and production not only powered Jesuit to a much-needed win but also highlighted him as one of the premier backs in the state.</p>    <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Pacific Conference</h2>    <p class="text-gray-700">Glencoe leaned on their ground game in a big way during their 42–26 win over Clackamas, and<strong> </strong>Heninger delivered a monster performance. Heninger piled up 256 rushing yards and found the end zone four times, showing both stamina and explosiveness. He also chipped in defensively with an interception, proving his all-around value. With Heninger leading the way, Glencoe is off to an impressive 2–0 start to the season.</p>    <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Mt. Hood Conference</h2>    <p class="text-gray-700">The Sandy offense was firing on all cylinders in their 58–6 victory over McMinnville, thanks in large part to their rushing attack, led by McMahon. The senior carried the load with 139 rushing yards and two touchdowns, gashing McMinnville's defense with his physical running style. McMahon's consistency and ability to finish drives made it nearly impossible for the opposition to slow Sandy down. With this kind of production, the Pioneers have jumped out to a solid 2–1 start.</p>    <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Three Rivers League</h2>    <p class="text-gray-700">West Linn's aerial attack was unstoppable in their 49–7 win over Sherwood, and Baker was the catalyst. Baker showed why he's one of the state's top signal-callers, throwing for 285 yards and five touchdowns. His poise in the pocket and ability to spread the ball around kept the Sherwood defense guessing all night. Behind Baker's leadership, the Lions remain undefeated at 2–0 and look every bit like a championship contender.</p>    <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Special District 1</h2>    <p class="text-gray-700">Sprague's offense ran straight through Tindall, who powered the Olympians with 211 rushing yards and three touchdowns. Tindall showcased his balance and vision, consistently ripping off big runs that wore down the North Medford defense, as they won 55-21 for their first win of the season. His ability to control the tempo of the game kept Sprague in command from start to finish.</p>
