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!
Aiden Bliss Goes Supernova in Port Allegany Victory
Port Allegany picked up their seventh consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Aiden Bliss. Bliss did his part (and then some), rushing for 212 yards and five touchdowns while picking up 10.1 yards per carry, and also picking up 30 receiving yards for the 'W'. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his seventh straight game with at least 127 rushing yards dating back to last season.
If the past is any indication, Bliss could be in store for another big game when he takes on Kane on Saturday. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Bliss saw the Wolves), he picked up 67 receiving yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 40 yards and a touchdown.
