Aiden Burgy Goes Supernova in Quakertown Victory
Another Quakertown player making an appearance on this list is Aiden Burgy. He picked up 96 receiving yards and two touchdowns. He is on a roll when it comes to receiving touchdowns, as he's now hauled in two or more in the last five games he's played dating back to last season.
Burgy's next contest is against Council Rock South on Friday, where he'll look to repeat that solid effort. The last time Burgy took on the Golden Hawks, he picked up 107 receiving yards and a touchdown. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

Hunter Smeltz Turns in Season-Best Effort
On Thursday, Souderton got the W thanks in part to Hunter Smeltz playing the best football he has all season. Smeltz picked up 71 receiving yards and two touchdowns. He has become a key player for Souderton: the team is undefeated when he posts at least two receiving touchdowns, but 2-3 otherwise.
For the year, Smeltz has caught 4 touchdowns while averaging 77 receiving yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after eight games last season, he was only averaging 19.13 receiving yards per game.
