Gavin Henry, QB, Bishop Blanchet
Henry accounted for four total touchdowns in the first half alone — two on the ground and two through the air (26 and 39 yards). His ability to execute both short-yardage and deep-play calls shows versatility, making him a central figure in Blanchet’s early season offensive strategy. His poise and decision-making helped the Bears put the game out of reach by halftime.
Leo Harnetiaux, QB, Seattle Prep
Harnetiaux led a game-winning 65-yard touchdown drive late in the fourth quarter. Harnetiaux showed clutch leadership and big-play ability under pressure. His connection with Beckett Archer for the final score capped a gritty performance.
Taepion Epting, RB, Garfield
Despite the loss, Epting was a consistent offensive spark. He had multiple drives where he moved the chains with tough, physical runs and scored a first-half touchdown. His ability to find lanes and absorb contact shows promise as a workhorse back for Garfield.
Zevion Watkins, RB/KR, Rainier Beach
Watkins turned the tide with two touchdowns in the third quarter, including a 65-yard kickoff return. His explosive speed and playmaking ability were key in shifting momentum against Central Kitsap.
Oteko Mwamba, RB, Rainier Beach
Mwamba broke open the Vikings’ scoring with a 50-yard touchdown run, showing off his breakaway speed and vision.
De’Vion Frazier, QB, Franklin
Frazier was pivotal, throwing two second-half touchdowns, including a 42-yard game-winner, and rushing for another. He also led the offense during a crucial comeback against Garfield, helping break a 17-year losing streak. His clutch performance and leadership under pressure were game-defining.
Steven Mpila, Special Teams, Franklin
Mpila blocked two key kicks — including an extra point and a punt — that directly led to scoring opportunities. His special teams effort helped shift momentum and ultimately help seal the win for his team.
