Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances in games played on Thursday and Friday (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Zach Cwalinski Delivers Best Performance of Season
On Friday, Valley View got the W thanks in part to Zach Cwalinski playing the best football he has all season. Cwalinski rushed for 165 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 9.7 yards per carry, and also threw for 107 yards and a touchdown, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He was no stranger to the big play, turning on the jets for a run that went for 67 yards.
The victory (which was Valley View's seventh in a row) raised their record to 7-1. Cwalinski and Valley View will look to defend their home field on Friday against Wyoming Valley West at 7:00 p.m.

Delaware Valley had to settle for second on Friday, but Michael Iuzzolino sure wasn't going down easily. Iuzzolino turned in nothing short of a gem, making 17 total tackles.
Delaware Valley moved to 3-5 with that loss, which also ended their three-game winning streak. They and North Pocono are set to duel on Friday.
