<p>[player_tooltip player_id='937233' first='Sloan' last='Baker'] 27' QB/ [player_tooltip player_id='914291' first='MJ' last='Kennybrew'] 26' WR West Linn</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>West Linn continues to show their dominance within the region, blasting traditional SW Washington power Camas 41-0. The Junior QB Baker is having a 1<sup>st</sup> team all-state season thus far. He hit on 11/18 passes for 242 yards and 3 TDs, while also rushing 9 times for 99 yards and 2 more touchdowns. Kennybrew has been one of the state's breakout performers, catching 3 balls for 122 yards and a touchdown against the Papermakers. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1566148' first='Sean' last='Gerigk'] 26' WR Mountainside </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Hands down one of the state's most exciting athletes. Gerigk won't be touched in the open field and showed that in the 63-2 win over Mountain View of Washington. In just one quarter he caught 5 passes for 172 yards and 3 touchdowns, with one other TD being called back. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1242623' first='Cavan' last='Rogers'] 27' WR/DB Oregon City </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>One of the state's top prospects for the 2027 class. Rogers has been a human highlight reel making some ridiculous catches. He could be an even better DB. Oregon City crushed what is typically a good Skyview team 33-7 with Cavan totaling 175 receiving yards and a TD. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1569379' first='Treyton' last='Powers'] 27' RB Grants Pass</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Powers continues to up his stock, looking like one of the top RB's in the NW. His 362 rushing yards broke a school record that he set a few weeks ago. He also added 4 TD's. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1529840' first='James' last='Johnstone'] 26' DE West Linn</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Johnstone is another defensive player who is climbing the rankings board. The Lions D pitched a shutout with the Senior D end racking up 2 additional sacks. [player_tooltip player_id='1234610' first='Cole' last='Dickson'] and [player_tooltip player_id='769922' first='Zach' last='VandenBrink'] led the team in tackles. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1369697' first='Talon' last='Sosky'] 27' WR Central Catholic </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The 6-4 SW Washington transfer hasn't wasted any time making his presence known at CC, hauling in 7 receptions for 89 yards and a touchdown in the team's big 14-13 win over Lakeridge. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1232743' first='Daniel' last='Heninger'] 26' RB Glencoe </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Heninger ran wild last year but has been even more impressive this season, helping the Crimson Tide to a 4-0 start at the 6A level. His 272 yards and 2 TDs were key in their 36-19 victory over previously unbeaten Westview. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1768304' first='Jace' last='Brown'] 28' RB Sherwood </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Get used to the name as Brown is only a sophomore. The 35-31 win over Tigard was a statement game for the Bowmen, with the youngster rushing for 243 yards and 3 TDs. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1242756' first='Luca' last='Blanchet'] 27' ATH Aloha </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Blanchet did well over the off season and has followed that up nicely early this year. On the night he had 10 receptions for 135 yards and 2 touchdowns in the team's 40-29 loss to Hillsboro. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='937232' first='Kellen' last='Bowman'] 27' QB/ Benjamin Greer 27' WR South Salem </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Statistically speaking this game will likely stay in the record books for a long time. The QB and baseball standout Bowman hit on 48 of 68 passes for 692 yards and 6 TD's, with his teammate and fellow junior Greer catching 19 balls for 314 yards and 4 touchdowns, in the 63-55 loss to Grants Pass. Some of the craziest stats ever. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1358906' first='Sterling' last='Holland'] 27' WR/DB Crescent Valley </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Definitely a kid to keep an eye on. Holland has been excelling on offense throughout the year with 16 catches for 326 yards and 4 TDs, but it was his D last week that stood out with 2 INTs and 2 PBUs, in the 36-8 win over South Eugene. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='769925' first='Oliver' last='Luebkert'] 26' WR/DB Beaverton </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Luebkert is the only player in the state to be on this list every week so far. His 9 receptions for 150 yards (230 all purpose) and 3 TDs were once again exceptional, but not enough as Beaverton took its first loss of the year to Liberty 44-33. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1585700' first='Cole' last='Thomas'] 26' Safety Central Catholic</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>We've talked a lot about Thomas already. The 1<sup>st</sup> team all-state projected DB returned a kick 78 yards for a TD to seal the deal for CC, in their 14-13 win over #6 Lakeridge. He finished with 8 tackles, 2 TFL's, 1 PBU, and 100 all-purpose yards. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1359052' first='Trevor' last='Glos']/ [player_tooltip player_id='1699751' first='Luke' last='Carli'] 26' WR Wilsonville </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>This duo continues to kill it. The Wildcats dominated a much-improved Forest Grove team 51-7 with Glos hitting on 23 of 39 passes for 229 yards and 5 TDs with 0 INTs. Carli was the primary recipient catching 8 balls for 92 yards and 2 touchdowns. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1232699' first='Cade' last='Mitchell'] 26' QB Mountainside</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Another top ranked athlete who seems to always be on the top performer list. Mitchell led the Mavericks to a 63-2 win against Mountain View, a team they only beat 21-20 last year. He was 19/26 passing for 287 yards and 7 TD's (with 2 called back). </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1345172' first='Jarrett' last='Martin'] 26' ATH Banks </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Banks might want to look at playing 4A ball again as they will be tough for anyone to beat in 3A. They had their way with a good Seton Catholic program out of WA, getting the 44-21 win. Martin finished with 253 yards (119 rushing, 134 receiving) and 3 TDs in the victory. He is a leading candidate for POY honors. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1569373' first='Jakai' last='Phillips'] 26' RB North Salem </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Give North Salem a ton of credit as a team as they continue to be a tough opponent each and every week. Phillips has been one of the best backs in the state, rushing 12 times for 157 yards and a TD (13 ypc), in the 21-7 loss to Sprague. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1924243' first='Jayden' last='Locke'] 28' QB Milwaukie </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Locke will make a nice jump up the rankings board when updated. The 6-4 sophomore QB passed for 364 yards and 6 TDs in the 49-8 win over Centennial. Milwaukie sits at 3-0 for the first time in a couple decades. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1660162' first='Hunter' last='Rivers'] 26' LB Dallas </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>One of the fastest rising prospects in Oregon. Rivers added his first D1 offer this week from Portland St and didn't disappoint on Friday during the teams 52-0 win over South Albany. He finished with 12 tackles, 2 TFL's, and 1 INT with Dallas looking like a 5A contender. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1891259' first='Isaac' last='Tindall'] 26' RB/[player_tooltip player_id='1924375' first='Bohdi' last='Jones'] 27' LB Sprague </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>This is Tindall's 2<sup>nd</sup> time on the top performer list, being one of the state's break out 26's. He rushed for another 145 yards and 2 TDs in the 21-7 win over North Salem. The Oly's D showed up as well with the Junior LB Jones adding 2 sacks. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1924374' first='Zuzi' last='Alwineyan'] 27' RB Willamette </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The Wolverines have a bunch of high-profile recruits and a few young guys who are making a name for themselves. The Jr. RB Alwineyan averaged 11.8 yards per carry, rushing 6 times for 71 yards and 2 touchdowns, in the 29-7 win over Sheldon. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1924239' first='Gage' last='Hobbs'] 26' QB Ridgeview </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Ridgeview finds themselves sitting at 4-0 and one of the fastest rising programs in the state at the 5A level. Hobbs has been a big reason for that, passing for another 3 TDs in the 38-12 win over Caldera. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1924373' first='Dash' last='Cureton'] 26' WR Hillsboro</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Hillsboro got a big conference win against Aloha with the kid from North Carolina having a big ball game. Separate from [player_tooltip player_id='402392' first='Asante' last='Mims'] outstanding play on D, Cureton has been clutch, finishing with 113 receiving yards and 2 TDs in the 40-29 win. </p>
