Cordell Harris Sr ATH Grant– Harris made Jefferson look foolish scoring every which way with 2 Punt returns for Tds, 2 Ints, one of those he took to the house for his 3rd Td of the game..

Maurice McSwain Jr. Slot/DB Aloha– McSwain is nasty and just continues to impress; He had an 80 yd Td reception, but more importantly is a very capable #2 resource if the Tyner’s magic is at all hampered.
Hayden Coppedge Sr. QB West Linn– In one of the most amazing stories of the night the West Linn QB brought the Lions back from a 34-7 3rd quarter deficit during a 27 point 4th quarter in route to a 41-34 victory.. He finished 24/35 with 4 passing Tds, (2) Jarrod Howard, (2) Joel Larson.

Jake LaCoste Jr. RB West Albany– LaCoste is so legit its not even funny..He accounted for 329 yards on 48 carries (not a misprint) and another 3 Tds rushing in West Albany’s 48-34 win over 6a Lakeridge, he also threw a 84 Yard Td… LaCoste now has 700 yards rushing and 10 Tds in his first two games
