Mid-Penn - Colonial 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!
Trinity Gets a Boost from Joy in 40-34 Defeat
Starting off the list is Trinity's Christian Joy, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Joy rushed for 214 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 7.6 yards per carry. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 84-yard run.
Joy and Trinity will head out on the road to take on Middletown at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The Shamrocks got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Blue Raiders, probably because Joy had a solid game then too: he picked up 76 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 47 yards. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

A Season-Best Performance from JJ Gossard Leads East Pennsboro over James Buchanan
JJ Gossard produced his most outstanding game to date while leading East Pennsboro to the win on Friday. Gossard rushed for 145 yards and three touchdowns on only 11 carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. His longest rush was for an impressive 56 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
East Pennsboro's win was their fourth straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 6-3. Gossard and East Pennsboro will take on Big Spring at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Td Evans Goes Supernova in Susquehanna Township Victory
Td Evans posted a new career-high in rushing yards on Friday. He threw for 202 yards and three touchdowns, and also rushed for 66 yards and two touchdowns on only eight carries.
If history really does repeat itself, Evans might just drop another big game when he faces off against Milton Hershey on Friday. When Evans last faced the Spartans back in August of 2023, he threw for 168 yards and two touchdowns on only 12 passes, and also rushed for 43 yards and a touchdown.

Aaron Angelo Makes It Two for East Pennsboro
The second East Pennsboro player making an appearance here is Aaron Angelo, and for good reason. He rushed for 50 yards and two touchdowns, and also picked up 102 receiving yards.
This year, Angelo has caught 7 touchdowns while averaging 87.6 receiving yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after nine games last season, he was only averaging 1.22 receiving yards per game.

Gavin Paul posted a new career-high in rushing yards on Friday. He rushed for 186 yards and a touchdown. He showed off some serious burst, turning on the afterburners on one carry for 56 yards.
Middletown is on a four-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 3-6. Paul and Middletown will take on Trinity at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
