District 9 Region 2 Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances in games played from last Thursday through Saturday (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Owen Bish Delivers Best Effort of Season
On Thursday, Union/Allegheny-Clarion Valley got the W thanks in part to Owen Bish playing the best football he has all season. Bish rushed for 137 yards and a touchdown on only seven carries, and also threw for 112 yards and four touchdowns. The effort marked the most rushing yards he has had since back in September. He also put in work on the defensive side of the ball, forcing a fumble and making three total tackles in addition to snagging an interception.
On the year, Bish has thrown 16 touchdowns while averaging 100 passing yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after ten games last season, he was only averaging 17.09 passer rating per game. This year he is averaging 86.11 passer rating.

Bliss Posts Huge Game in 48-0 Win
Aiden Bliss's big game helped extend Port Allegany's winning streak to ten on Friday. Bliss was unstoppable, rushing for 219 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 9.5 yards per carry. Bliss is crushing it when it comes to rushing yards: he's rushed for at least 120 every time he's taken the field this season.
Unfortunately for Cameron County, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Bliss. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Bliss saw the Raiders), he rushed for 88 yards and a touchdown on only nine carries.

Dom Corcetti Sets Career High in Rushing Yards
Keystone was led to victory by Dom Corcetti, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Saturday. Corcetti rushed for 155 yards and two touchdowns on only ten carries, and also threw for 170 yards and a touchdown, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. His longest rush was for an impressive 54 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.

Keth and Keystone will face off against Ridgway/Johnsonburg at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The Panthers got just the result they wanted when they last faced the , probably because Keth had a solid game then too: he rushed for 38 yards and a touchdown, and also picked up 56 receiving yards.
