The senior running back rushed for 286 yards and three touchdowns in Glencoe's 44-0 win over Century, controlling the game from start to finish.

Hood Conference</h2>    <p class="text-gray-700">Sandy's defensive leader, Fredrickson, made his presence felt in a big way during the Pioneers' 39-6 win over Clackamas.
