Colonial-Schuylkill - C 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!
Dante Carr Goes Supernova in Minersville Victory
Starting off the list is Minersville's Dante Carr, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Carr rushed for 146 yards and four touchdowns on only nine carries, and also threw for 176 yards and two touchdowns on only 15 passes. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his eighth straight game with at least 101 rushing yards dating back to last season.
If history really does repeat itself, Carr might just drop another big game when he faces off against Panther Valley on Thursday. Carr threw for 204 yards and two touchdowns while completing 85.7% of his passes, and also rushed for 31 yards and a touchdown the last time he and the Panthers duked it out back in September of 2023.

A Season-Best Effort from Fletcher Thompson Leads Williams Valley over Shenandoah Valley
Fletcher Thompson produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Williams Valley to the win on Friday. Thompson rushed for 179 yards and three touchdowns on only eight carries.
Williams Valley pushed their record up to 8-1 with the win, which was their fifth straight at home. Thompson and Williams Valley are taking a road trip to face off against Pine Grove at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Brady Shomper Makes It Two for Williams Valley
Keeping Thompson company is Brady Shomper, a fellow Williams Valley player. He threw for 245 yards and four touchdowns while completing 81.8% of his passes, and also rushed for 83 yards and a touchdown. He is on a roll when it comes to passing touchdowns, as he's now passed for three or more in the last three games he's played dating back to last season.
Shomper and Williams Valley will take on Pine Grove at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The Vikings got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Cardinals, probably because Shomper had a solid game then too: he threw for 102 yards and two touchdowns on only five passes. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

Underclassman Rory Dixon Major Player in Marian Catholic Victory
It was an underclassman who stole the show on Friday as Rory Dixon came into the game on a mission. He did his part (and then some), rushing for 138 yards and three touchdowns for the 'W'.
Pine Grove had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Dixon it was a similar story. Dixon rushed for 163 yards and a touchdown the last time he and Pine Grove duked it out back in October of 2023.

Williams Valley Gets a Boost from Crisswell in 75-3 Victory
Another Williams Valley player making an appearance on this list is Brayden Crisswell. He picked up three sacks and made five total tackles.
For the season, Crisswell has averaged 5.2 total tackles per game and for the season has 10 sacks. It gets even more impressive: after nine games last season, he had one receiving touchdown. This year he is already up to three.
