Pioneer - Frontier Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances across Friday and Saturday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Upper Perkiomen Gets a Boost from Schwartz in 37-9 Win
Starting off the list is Upper Perkiomen's Zach Schwartz, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Schwartz rushed for 186 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 8.9 yards per carry, and also picked up 35 receiving yards. He is becoming a predictor of Upper Perkiomen's success: when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns the team is 4-1 (and 1-3 when he doesn't).
Upper Perkiomen now has a winning record of 5-4. Schwartz and Upper Perkiomen will welcome Methacton at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Deacon Williams Delivers Electric Effort Vs Pottsgrove
Phoenixville picked up their fourth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Deacon Williams. Williams was unstoppable, rushing for 185 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 8.8 yards per carry.
Pottsgrove had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Williams it was a similar story. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Williams saw the Falcons), he rushed for 126 yards and a touchdown on only 14 carries.
