3A/4A Kingco - Crest Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances from Friday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Liberty's Losing Streak Is No More Thanks to Spencer Bogh
Thanks in part to Spencer Bogh, Liberty said goodbye to their five-game losing streak. Nobody could stop Bogh on Friday as he rushed for 87 yards and a touchdown.
Liberty and Inglemoor are set to duel on Friday. The Patriots got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Vikings, probably because Bogh had a solid game then too: he rushed for 90 yards and a touchdown. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

Elliot Staples Dazzles in Juanita Victory
Elliot Staples's big game helped extend Juanita's winning streak to three on Friday. Staples did his part (and then some), rushing for 86 yards and three touchdowns for the 'W'. He has been hot recently, having posted three or more rushing touchdowns the last three times he's played.
It'll be Battle of the Birds when Ravens challenges Issaquah at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The matchup will pit Staples up against the Eagles' star rusher Micah Seiffert. With so much talent on the field, fans are surely in for an exciting game. The only thing left to see is who brings home the W.

A Season-Best Effort from Marek Wright Leads Liberty over Highline
On Friday, Liberty got the W thanks in part to Marek Wright playing the best football he has all season. Wright rushed for 52 yards and a touchdown on only six carries, and also threw for 14 yards and a touchdown, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
This season, Wright has run in 4 touchdowns while averaging 17.9 rushing yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging eight rushing yards per game.

Micah Thomas Makes Top Five
Rounding off our Top Five is Micah Thomas of Lake Washington. Thomas wasn't messing around on Friday, picking up a sack, making ten total tackles (2.0 for loss), and defending two passes. The matchup was his third straight with five or more total tackles. He has become a key player for Lake Washington: the team is 2-1 when he posts at least four total tackles, but 1-4 otherwise.
Lake Washington is on a three-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 3-5. Thomas and Lake Washington will challenge Woodinville at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
