Dominic Walters continued his habit of posting crazy stat lines, rushing for 127 yards while picking up 7.9 yards per carry. That's the most rushing yards he has posted since back in August of 2024.

They were just one part of a punishing run game: Fort LeBoeuf was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 241 rushing yards. They are 7-1 when they've run for more than 200 yards.

Another reason for the win was Fort LeBoeuf's imposing defense, which managed to get into the backfield for three sacks. The team can thank three different players for their defensive prowess: Sadowski, Brady Black, and Ethan Horn, who each picked up one sack apiece. Fort LeBoeuf got some further help from Black: he picked up a sack, made seven total tackles (2.0 for loss), and defended one pass.

Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Hickory). Their defense stepped up to hand Girard a 60-0 shutout on Friday. The final result isn't all that surprising considering the Hornets' considerable advantage in MaxPreps' Pennsylvania football rankings (they are ranked 72nd, while the Yellowjackets are ranked 369th).

Hickory found their leader in sophomore Morrison, who rushed for 248 yards and a pair of TDs on only ten carries.

Friday's matchup might be decided on the ground. Fort LeBoeuf has been unstoppable on the ground this season, having averaged 240.3 rushing yards per game.
