PLAYER OF THE WEEK-
Jack Layne Jack Layne 6'2" | 190 lbs | QB Lake Oswego | 2022 State OR 22’ QB Lake Oswego- Coming into this season, Layne had one of the fastest rising stocks of any QB in the NW. He backed that up in a big way hitting on 72% passes, while throwing for 324 yards and 4 TDs, in the 40-7 win against a good Mountainside team.
Stryder Todd-Fields 22’ ATH Central Catholic- One of the more underrated players in Oregon did not disappoint, striking early with a 98-yard kick return, followed by a 77-yard TD reception, and an 86 yd punt return negated by a penalty. CC came away with the 28-7 win over WA power Camas.
Brock Thomas Brock Thomas 6'0" | 175 lbs | QB Sheldon | 2023 State OR 23’ QB Sheldon- As noted Thomas went off on Friday, accounting for 397 total yards and 5 TD’s (150 rushing/3 TDs). The 3* Jr. QB was the X factor in the teams 36-29 win over an improved Glencoe group.
Royce Fasel Royce Fasel 6'0" | 225 lbs | LB Glencoe | 2022 State OR 22’ ATH/LB Glencoe- All everything athlete Fasel has moved to the QB spot which I would say is incredibly smart, considering his dominance anytime the ball is in his hands. Fasel averaged almost 10 yards per carry, rushing 29 times for 273 yards and 3 TDs, in the teams 36-29 loss to Sheldon.
Malik Ross Malik Ross 6'0" | 190 lbs | ATH Tualatin | 2022 State OR 22’ ATH Tualatin- Ross did a little bit of everything, going for over 200 all purpose (148 rushing) and multiple TDs in the 44-33 win over Menlo Atherton in CA. He may be Oregon’s most versatile athlete and top return man.
Mark Hamper Mark Hamper 6'2" | 205 lbs | ATH West Linn | 2023 State OR 23’ WR/WLB West Linn- The PRZ POY Candidate started the season out with a bang for the second year in a row, catching 9 passes for 143 yards with a TD. He was just as impressive on D with 2 tackles for loss and a clutch INT late.
Will Wilson 23’ LB Tualatin- The 6-3 215-pound LB had a nice coming out party down in the Bay with 6 tackles, helping the T-Wolves to a big 44-33 win over the #5 team in the Nor Cali region.
Zachary Dodson-Greene Zachary Dodson-Greene 6'2" | 190 lbs | WR West Salem | 2022 State OR 22’ WR West Salem 6-159-3 TDs- Green had a nice off season, and showed up big in the season opener, catching 6 passes for 200 yards and 3 TDs from talented 6-5 2022 QB Brooks Ferguson Brooks Ferguson 6'5" | 215 lbs | QB West Salem | 2022 State OR . Expect Zach to be a potential conference & state statistical leader.
Logan Smith Logan Smith 6'4" | 175 lbs | QB Sprague | 2022 State OR 22’ QB Sprague- Smith had an impressive Junior Spring and justified his all-state status, throwing 5 TDs in the opener, in the teams 41-20 win at Corvallis.
Hiro Diamond Hiro Diamond 6'2" | 170 lbs | QB Liberty | 2022 State OR 22’ QB Liberty- Not a lot of people know about Diamond, even as a three year all conference starter. His 6 TDs (4 passing) are a testament to his potential, as the Falcons trounced Aloha 56-0.
Jordan Fisher Jordan Fisher 5'8" | 175 lbs | RB Westview | 2023 State OR 23’ RB- Coach Atkinson talked about this kid early in his career and for good reason. Fisher averaged close to 15 yards per rush (13-196 2 TDs), as the Cats looked like the real deal, in the 49-0 win over Oregon City
Pierce Davidson 22’ WR & Dom Montiel Dom Montiel 6'3" | 185 lbs | QB Marshfield | 2022 State OR 22’ QB Marshfield- Remember the name as you can’t teach 6-7 195. Davidson had 5 receptions for 155 yards and 2 Td’s against Mazama. All coming from Oregon 4A POY favorite Montiel, who accounted for all 5 TDs (4 passing) in the teams 35-20 win.
Malakai Nutter 23’ RB Bend- The 5-8 180-pound relatively unknown underclassmen had a nice opener, rushing for 186 Yards and 2 TDs, in the teams very impressive 27-7 win at home over Grants Pass.
Jordan McCarty Jordan McCarty 6'1" | 180 lbs | QB Silverton | 2022 State OR 22’ QB Silverton- McCarty will be a legit 5A POY candidate and one of the top dual threat QB’s in the NW. The Foxes looked the part and then some, blasting PIL 6A favorite Grant 41-7, with McCarty passing for 322 yards and 3 total TDs (2 rushing).
Drew Rodriguez Drew Rodriguez 6'2" | 200 lbs | DB Sprague | 2023 State OR 23’ S/WR Sprague- As good as Rodriguez is at wide out where he caught two of Logan Smith Logan Smith 6'4" | 175 lbs | QB Sprague | 2022 State OR ’s 5 TDs, I like him at Safety where he took another ball to the house, giving him 3 touchdowns on the evening in the 41-20 win over Corvallis.
Kohler Hernandez 23’ RB & Chase W Nelson Chase W Nelson 6'5" | 225 lbs | QB Central | 2023 State OR 23’ QB Central HS- The Independence (OR) school has one of the top underclass duo’s in Oregon at the 5A level. Hernandez had a big night totaling 300 yards (190 rushing) with 3 TD’s, with Nelson throwing for 283 yards and 4 TDs, in the 40-24 win over Redmond. After a few down years they have some athletes to be excited about.
Matthew Soles 22’ DB Canby- Look for the Cougars to be a 5A title contender. Soles played a key role on both sides of the football, picking off 2 passes, with a TD Offensively in the 26-20 win over Dallas.
Chansse Lee 22’ ATH McKay- The Royal Scots ended a 10-game losing streak, with Lee returning as one of the best in Oregon at the 5A level. On the night he had 100+ receiving yards, multiple sacks, while also returning a kick in the 25-21 win over Putnam.
