Mahoning Valley - Scarlet 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!
Geno Perry Crosses Big Stat Threshold
Lowellville was led to victory by Geno Perry, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Perry rushed for 282 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 10.4 yards per carry. Thanks to that strong showing, he's now averaging 2.1 rushing touchdowns per game. The dominant performance gave him a new career-high in rushing yards.
For the season, Perry has averaged 22.2 receiving yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after nine games last season, he was only averaging 35.33 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 184.78 rushing yards.
Gamescore: 71.88
Big Game from Darney As Western Reserve Won 39-12
Jack Darney posted a new career-high in rushing yards on Friday. He rushed for 217 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 9.0 yards per carry.
Mineral Ridge's probably not too fond of Darney given he always seems to get the better of them. Darney rushed for 138 yards while picking up 7.7 yards per carry, and also picked up 51 receiving yards and a touchdown the last time he and the Rams duked it out back in October of 2023.
Gamescore: 53.30
Dante Gentile and Co. Win Sixth in a Row
Dante Gentile's big game helped extend Springfield's winning streak to six on Friday. Gentile was dynamite, rushing for 187 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 7.8 yards per carry. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his eighth straight game with at least 115 rushing yards dating back to last season.
Gentile and Springfield will host Lowellville at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The last time Gentile took on the Rockets, he rushed for 104 yards and a touchdown. Can he match (or beat) that performance?
Gamescore: 42.05
Josh Pazel Makes It Two for Lowellville
Another Lowellville player making an appearance on this list is Josh Pazel. He picked up 154 receiving yards and a touchdown.
On the year, Pazel has caught 11 touchdowns while averaging 88.1 receiving yards per game.

A Season-Best Effort from Ricky Willrich Leads Lowellville over Waterloo
On Friday, Lowellville got the W thanks in part to Ricky Willrich playing the best football he has all season. Willrich threw for 291 yards and two touchdowns on only 18 passes.
For the year, Willrich has thrown 20 touchdowns while averaging 197.7 passing yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after nine games last season, he was only averaging 30.33 passer rating per game. This year he is averaging 114 passer rating.
