Tanner Barbour, WR, Pullman ’23
Barbour had a huge night as he hauled in 7 receptions for 207 yards and 2 TD’s on the 35-21 win vs West Valley. A clear mismatch all night as he was frequently open and made himself a clear and easy target throughout the night. Huge performance for the junior.
Connor Dow, WR, Shorecrest ’22
Despite the 20-18 loss to Lynwood, Dow was still able to have a productive day as he logged 9 catches for 150 yards and 2 TD’s. Dow possesses good balance after the catch, and I love his demeanor and willingness to fight for extra yards as he is not willing to go down. He was solid on hitches and posts throughout the night, and did a god job extending and tracking the ball in on about a 22 yard TD.
Teddy Beaver Teddy Beaver 5'11" | 170 lbs | ATH Skyview | 2022 State WA , WR, Skyview ’22
Beaver snagged 8 receptions for 136 yards and a TD against Prairie to help Skyview secure the 35-12 W. Another mismatch all night, Beaver does a good job manipulating DB’s and taking advantage of leverage. Good route runner with a nice burst at the top of his route, and was able to generate clear separation all night. Impressive performance from Beaver.
Luke Lavigne, WR, Bainbridge ’23
Lavigne has been a touchdown machine all year, and nothing changed this week as he logged 4 receptions for 75 yards and 3 TD’s on the blowout win vs Kingston. I really like Lavigne’s length and frame at 6’4″ 185lbs, as he already looks like a college ready X or Z. He flashed explosiveness at the top of routes to be able to get over the top of defenses, and possesses soft hands with a large catch radius.
AIden Prado AIden Prado 5'10" | 170 lbs | DB Mount Spokane | 2022 State WA , WR, Mt. Spokane ’22
Prado hauled in just 3 catches, but they were big ones as he totaled 106 yards and 2 TD’s to go with it to contribute to the 27-0 win over Lewis and Clark. He showed creativity with his route running on a 55 yard post for a TD to give slight delay, use his hips to manipulate DB’s along with a quick head fake, and then burst and accelerate out of his stick to get over the top of a cover-2 shell for six.
