WPIAL AAAA Parkway 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!
Brock Cornell Earns League's Top Spot
Starting off the list is West Allegheny's Brock Cornell, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. On Friday Cornell made eight total tackles and defended a pass. The performance also marked the most rushing yards (156) he has had since back in September of 2023. He also punched in two rushing touchdowns, which is notable because West Allegheny is undefeated when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns, but 1-3 otherwise.
Cornell and West Allegheny will face off against Blackhawk at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The Indians got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Cougars, probably because Cornell had a solid game then too: he made 16 total tackles. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

Trey Hopper Dazzles in Montour Victory
Montour picked up their eighth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Trey Hopper. Hopper was dynamite, throwing for 255 yards and four touchdowns while completing 81.8% of his passes. He is on a roll when it comes to passing touchdowns, as he's now passed for four or more in the last three games he's played dating back to last season.
Montour's win was their seventh straight on the road dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 8-0. Hopper and Montour will square off against Aliquippa at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
