SBLive’s Top 10 plays of Week 11

10. In a game where O'Dea jumped out to a big lead early and never looked back, Kyan McDonald shined for the Fighting Irish, returning a punt for a touchdown against Auburn Riverside.

9. You're probably used to hearing Calvin Mikkelsen's name this season whenever Lakeside of Nine Mile Falls is making a play, but Zach Meharg did his part for the Eagles on special teams, returning a kickoff to start the second half for a touchdown.

8. It certainly isn't the most common occurrence in football, but when it does happen, it sure is a lot of fun. Nooksack Valley lineman John Stremler made the most of his time at fullback, rushing for a 21-yard touchdown against Cascade Christian. (Video by Connor Benintendi)

7. The Garfield defense made sure its long road trip to Spokane last weekend wouldn't be for nothing as the Bulldogs forced a handful of Mount Spokane turnovers - with defensive lineman Peter Sander's 56-yard scoop-and-score play standing out.

6. A hope and a prayer proved to loom large for Eastlake as it hosted Sumner - with Landon Renfroe's 'Hail Mary' heave to Marcus Angiuli for a 42-yard touchdown right before halftime becoming critical in a 21-18 win.

5. Tumwater looked like a well-oiled machine from the get-go against Port Angeles last week as Kooper Clark took a handoff 85 yards for a touchdown right up the middle on the team's first play from scrimmage.

4. A big win for Clarkston was highlighted by defensive lineman Sage Lone Bear fulfilling every big man's dream when he intercepted a Woodland pass and returned it 44 yards for a score.

3. Looking for a deeper playoff run this year, Highline got off on the right foot, dismantling W.F. West. The Pirates defense was firing on all cylinders, especially on defensive back Marquawn McCraney's interception return for a touchdown in the second half.

2. In what might be the most heads-up play of the weekend, Graham-Kapowsin quarterback Daveon Superales came out of a pile of players on a fumble with the ball and zipped past a stunned (and stopped) defense for a touchdown.

1. Down by one in overtime to Emerald Ridge, the Kamiakin coaching staff decided to roll the dice and go for the win. The Braves ran their own version of the Super Bowl famous 'Philly Special' with Carter Poland getting the ball on a reverse handoff and hitting quarterback Trent Woodhouse in the end zone for the win.
