Sophomore quarterback Joyce showed enough promise to earn third-team honors, signaling a strong foundation for Canby’s offensive future. Quarterbacks at this level rarely gain recognition as underclassmen unless they demonstrate leadership and production beyond their years, and Joyce’s inclusion highlights both traits. His development will be critical as Canby looks to build continuity on offense, and continued growth in decision-making and consistency could elevate him into one of the conference’s top signal-callers moving forward. With valuable early experience already in place, his ceiling remains intriguing.

Sophomore sensation Joyce had a night to remember in Canby’s 56–35 victory over Aloha. Joyce set a school record with 411 passing yards while completing 21 of 29 attempts, tossing four touchdowns through the air and adding two more on the ground. His poise and precision as a young quarterback stood out, showing maturity beyond his years. Joyce’s six-touchdown performance makes him one of the rising stars in Oregon’s 5A scene.
