<p>We're back with another edition of our 6A Conference Players of the Week after a short break. Week 4 delivered a plethora of standout performances across the state, with athletes stepping up in crucial games and helping their teams advance further into the season. From explosive offensive stat lines to game-changing plays on defense, here are the players who made their mark in Week 4 of the Oregon 6A season.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">PIL</h2>    <p class="text-gray-700">McDaniel picked up a huge 15–12 road win over Jefferson, and sophomore defensive lineman Fakapulia was a difference-maker. He finished the night with four solo tackles, one assist, and three sacks, constantly disrupting Jefferson's offense. For a young player, his ability to dominate in the trenches is impressive, and performances like this show why he's one of the top underclassmen to watch in the PIL.</p>    <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Metro League</h2>    <p class="text-gray-700">Southridge cruised to a 42–7 victory over Cleveland thanks to the power running of Klein. The junior running back racked up 186 yards and three touchdowns, consistently breaking through the defense for big gains. Klein's performance was a statement for Southridge's offense, showing they can lean on him to control the tempo and wear down opponents.</p>    <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Pacific Conference</h2>    <p class="text-gray-700">Glencoe's undefeated run continued with a massive 37–19 win over previously unbeaten Westview, fueled by Heninger's dominant night. The senior carried the ball 35 times for 272 yards and three touchdowns, carrying the offense on his back. Heninger's workhorse mentality made the difference, as he consistently found ways to keep the chains moving against a strong defense.</p>    <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Mt. Hood Conference</h2>    <p class="text-gray-700">With Central Catholic trailing late, Thomas provided the spark his team needed in a top-ten matchup. After falling behind 13–7 with just over three minutes left, Thomas broke off a 78-yard kickoff return that flipped the momentum and set up the Rams with a 14-13 win. In a week where many Mt. Hood teams were on a bye, Thomas' clutch play stood out as the defining moment.</p>    <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Three Rivers League</h2>    <p class="text-gray-700">Facing Washington powerhouse Camas, the Lions put together a dominant 42–0 performance led by Kennybrew. The senior wide receiver hauled in 156 yards and a touchdown, showing his ability to create mismatches all over the field. Kennybrew's explosiveness in the passing game gave Camas fits, and his playmaking helped West Linn make a big statement in non-league action.</p>    <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Special District 1</h2>    <p class="text-gray-700">For the second week in a row, Powers put his name in the record books. The Grants Pass junior broke the school rushing record he had just set a week earlier, this time exploding for 362 yards on the ground. He also found the end zone four times, giving his team the balance and firepower they needed to outlast South Salem in a shootout. Powers is quickly becoming one of the state's most unstoppable backs.</p>     <p class="text-gray-700">On the other sideline, Bowman made Oregon high school football history. The South Salem quarterback threw for an incredible 692 yards, setting the state record for passing yards in a single game. He added five touchdowns through the air, keeping the Saxons in the fight until the very end. Even in defeat, Bowman's performance was one of the most memorable ever seen on an Oregon field. </p>     <p class="text-gray-700">Bowman's record-setting night wouldn't have been possible without his favorite target, Greer. The junior wideout tied the Oregon single-game record with 19 receptions, turning those catches into 307 yards and four touchdowns. His combination of hands, route-running, and explosiveness gave the Grants Pass defense fits all game long. Greer's performance was the perfect complement to Bowman's historic passing showcase.</p>
