The senior QB hit on 16/26 passes for 226 yards and 5 TDs, with the reigning conference POY Bailey rushing 31 times for 235 yards and catching 3 balls for 44 more.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2411531' first='Andre' last='Carter'] 27' WR Anacortes&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Maybe Washington's breakout player of the year. The 6-3 190 pound WR was unreal in the 48-47 triple OT victory over reigning 2A state champ Archbishop Murphy. On the night, he caught 15 passes for 233 yards and 4 touchdowns.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1671389' first='Teaven' last='Jones'] 27' DE/OLB Mt Tahoma&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The state sack leader from last year Jones had a huge night against 2x reigning state champ Sumner, coming up just short in the 22-20 loss. He made 8 tackles, with 2 TFL's, and 1 sack. The T-Birds have played a brutally tough schedule thus far with losses to Waipahu, Hawaii and Kennedy Catholic as well.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2065189' first='Jaysen' last='Beasley'] 27' WR Sageview&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Beasley has been one of the best players in Washington thus far going for 9 TD's and 600+ all-purpose yards over the first three weeks. Sageview didn't win a game last year and sits at 3-0 right now, with the senior WR catching 8 passes for 164 yards and 2 TDs in the 33-28 win over Richland.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='984867' first='Jayden' last='Baum'] 28' QB, [player_tooltip player_id='2398879' first='Daeshaun' last='Washington'] 30' ATH Evergreen&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This was a big win for 3A Evergreen on the road, beating a quality 4A Woodinville program 35-26. Baum will likely be adding offers in the near future. He passed for 3 TD's and ran for another, with one of the nation's top freshman Washington catching 2 more. He has backed up the hype and then some early this season.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2152682' first='Sullivan' last='Sandusky']</strong> 28' QB, [player_tooltip player_id='2118707' first='Calvin' last='Killian'] 28' WR Lewis &amp; Clark&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This was a crucial night in the Greater Spokane League. Lewis &amp; Clark got the 37-33 win over Cheney with Sandusky hitting Killian with 23 seconds left. The 6-3 junior QB looks to be the real deal, going 28 of 34 for 371 yards and 3 passing TD's. He also rushed 21 times for 81 yards and a touchdown. Killian is also only a junior and caught 12 passes for 162 yards and 2 TD's.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2411532' first='Niko' last='Ahhi'] 27' ATH Clarkston&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>2A Clarkston isn't exactly a team we talk about a lot. They got a nice 63-6 win over North Central, with the 6-0 dual sport standout Ahhi scoring 5 total TD's, with 6 receptions for 160 yards and 3 receiving touchdowns.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2381183' first='Jacob' last='Korotkov'] 27' RB / [player_tooltip player_id='2381190' first='Tayton' last='Jackman'] 27' RB/S Southridge</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Another big week for the Southridge duo with the team getting a clutch 30-27 win over conference power Chiawana. Korotkov did his thing out of the backfield, rushing 14 times for 133 yards while also making 8 tackles with 3 TFL's. Jackman came up with the game winning stop defensively while also leading the team with 12 tackles.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Jayden Hinchcliffe</strong> 27' LB/RB/[player_tooltip player_id='1892956' first='Tyler' last='Briscoe'] 27' RB Tumwater&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Tumwater continues to leave no doubt on who is the top 2A program in Washington early on, beating a solid Mount Si team 48-12. Hinchcliffe and Briscoe combined to rush 37 times for 270 yards and 3 TDs in the win.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1971512' first='Korben' last='Reed'] 27' RB Lakes&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 5-9 175-pound Reed was the man against Curtis, rushing 9 times for 106 yards and 3 touchdowns, in the 32-22 win. It was a big victory against a good opponent after losing 8-7 to 2A W.F. West the week prior.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2411534' first='Nick' last='Ariza'] 27' QB, [player_tooltip player_id='2112416' first='Grant' last='Petersen'] 27' WR, <strong>Rowan Phillips</strong> 29' WR University </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>University came back in a big way after losing in OT to Cheney 31-28 in week 2. They blasted traditional power Gonzaga Prep 34-7 who moved to 0-3 for the first time since 1935. The QB Ariza was almost perfect, going 22/25 for 235 yards and 4 touchdowns. One of the state's top 2027 WR's Petersen caught 13 balls with 2 TD's with the sophomore Phillips hauling in 8 receptions for 62 yards and 2 touchdowns.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2100370' first='Connor' last='Collins'] 27' QB Cheney&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 1^st&nbsp;team all state returner Collins had a nice night in the 37-33 last second loss to Lewis &amp; Clark. He was 19/33 for 286 yards and 3 TD's, to go with a rushing touchdown as well.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2213886' first='Kalama' last='Roberson'] 28' RB Walla Walla&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Don't look now but the Blue Devils continue to get better. Walla Walla moved to 2-1 with the very versatile junior standout Roberson scoring 3 more TD's in the 38-7 win over Hanford.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='986701' first='J'Shaun' last='Wilson'] 28' RB O'Dea&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Once again Wilson went off in the 49-0 win over Bishop Blanchet, averaging close to 50 yards per carry. He rushed 3 times for 147 yards and 2 Tds.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2407188' first='Adarius' last='Sparrow'] 28' WR, [player_tooltip player_id='2411536' first='Dugan' last='Logue'] 27' QB, [player_tooltip player_id='1568793' first='David' last='Dudko'] 27' LB/RB Skyview</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The junior Sparrow had a breakout night with 3 TD receptions, with the QB Logue connecting on all three, in the 38-21 win over GSHL rival Camas. The all-conference LB Dudko did his thing on D and also rushed for 2 touchdowns offensively. The Storm moved to 3-0 and will play a good Battle Ground team who sits at 3-0 as well this week.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2411538' first='Carter' last='Bendewald'] 28' RB Kennewick</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 6-0 180-pound junior RB was clutch in the team's 22-17 win over Kamiakin, rushing 17 times for 147 yards and 2 Tds. We don't talk a lot about the Kennewick athletes, but each year they are one of the state's most consistent programs.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
