Lancaster-Lebanon 2 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!
Jayden Zandier Dazzles in Exeter Township Victory
Exeter Township picked up their eighth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Jayden Zandier. Hempfield had no answer to Zandier as he rushed for 70 yards and two touchdowns, and also threw for 40 yards and a touchdown.
Zandier must have Hempfield's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Zandier rushed for 251 yards and three touchdowns on only 15 carries the last time he and the Black Knights duked it out back in October of 2023.
Gamescore: 28.47
Winning always takes teamwork, but on Friday Brayden Brown stepped things up a notch to give Ephrata the 'W'. Brown turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 73 yards.
Muhlenberg had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Brown it was a similar story. Brown rushed for 111 yards and a touchdown on only ten carries, and also picked up 32 receiving yards the last time he and the Muhls duked it out back in October of 2023.
Gamescore: 26.65
Grant Posts Huge Game in 32-0 Win

This season, Grant has thrown 7 touchdowns while averaging 107.4 passing yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 5.75 passing yards per game.

Teagan Ruble and Co. Win Eighth in a Row
Teagan Ruble was instrumental in extending Conestoga Valley's winning streak to eight on Friday. Ruble did his part (and then some), picking up 86 receiving yards and a touchdown, while also rushing for 30 yards and a touchdown for the 'W'.
Conestoga Valley pushed their record up to 8-0 with the win, which was their fourth straight on the road. Ruble will have a chance to log another big game when he takes on Exeter Township on Friday.
