*This list is a way to showcase this weeks top performances. I am sure I missed a few and would like to know the ones I did. You can either comment on here or send me an email at Ringerland@gmail.com.
This list is being posted before some Saturday games have been completed. If a player deserves recognition and plays Saturday night, I will edit this post and place them at the bottom.
Billy Green Sr. QB King’s – The BYU bound Green completed 18 of 31 passes for 312 yards and 5 TDs as the Knights beat Archbishop Murphy 40-15 on Thursday night. He also had 33 rushing yards and a score to help King’s becomes the first conference opponent in history to beat Archbishop Murphy on their home turf.
Caleb Taylor Sr. WR/DB King’s – Green’s favorite target on the night caught 10 passes for 176 yards and 3 TDs. He also had and INT, forced a fumble and recovered it. Green to Taylor is something fans in the state should get used to hearing.
Mauricio Portillo Jr. RB Enumclaw – The physical Portillo was too much for Heritage rushing 29 times for 249 yards and 6 TDs in the Hornets 54-35 non-conference win. Just last week we put him in our 2014 RB rankings as an Honorable Mention.
Ralph Kinne Sr. RB Shelton – Here is your weekly Ralph Kinne update… 42 carries for 359 yards and a TD in Shelton’s 35-25 win over the previously unbeaten Wilson Rams. Kinne now has 899 yards and 6 TDs through 3 games.

Steffin Church Sr. QB Kentlake – I don’t have full numbers but Church tossed 9 TDs in the Falcons 76-55 win over Puyallup. Just those 9 passes alone accounted for 396 yards. If I get better stats I will post them.
Jacob Swilley Sr. RB Yelm – Mr. Everything for the Tornados carried 19 times for 245 yards and 4 TDs in helping Yelm to a 45-6 win over Stadium. Swilley became Yelm’s all-time leading rusher in the process and finished the night at 2,639 yards or his career. Next week Swilley and the Tornados face Kinnie and the Shelton Highclimbers. Should be a lot of rushing yards in that one.
Mac Shaw Sr. QB Tenino – Another big night for the Beavers QB as he completed 20 of 31 passes for 321 yards and 3 TDs. Shaw also rushed 19 times for 192 yards and 3 TDs in a 50-22 win over Elma. Tenino is now 3-0 on the season.

Melvin Walser Jr. WR Mount Vernon – A kid we have ranked as our #8 Jr WR in Washington, Walser caught 14 passes for 290 yards and 3 TDs. He has become Gibson’s favorite target and for good reason… He stands 6’2″ and has great hands. He is now over 400 yards receiving on the season.
Jonah Hoe Sr. RB Walla Walla – Hoe carried 35 times while accumulating 279 yards and 4 TDs as Walla Walla picked up a 28-18 over Davis (Yakima). Hoe is a returning all-league player who is a real leader for the 2-1 Blue Devils.
