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 Delivers Electric Effort Vs Tri-Valley
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. Carr is crushing it when it comes to rushing yards: he's rushed for at least 101 every time he's taken the field this season.
Carr might have his next game, a road matchup with Panther Valley, circled on his calendar. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Carr saw the Panthers), he threw for 204 yards and two touchdowns while completing 85.7% of his passes, and also rushed for 31 yards and a touchdown.

Brady Shomper Makes It Two for Williams Valley
Another Williams Valley player making an appearance on this list is Brady Shomper. 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 has been hot recently, having posted three or more passing touchdowns the last three times he's played.
For the year, Shomper has thrown 24 touchdowns while averaging 186.6 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 17 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 69.22 rushing yards.

Underclassman Rory Dixon Comes Up Big Against Pine Grove
It was an underclassman who stole the show on Friday as Rory Dixon came into the matchup on a mission. He turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 138 yards and three touchdowns.
Pine Grove had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Dixon it was a similar story. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Dixon saw Pine Grove), he rushed for 163 yards and a touchdown.

Crisswell Came Up Big in Williams Valley's 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.
On the season, Crisswell has averaged 5.2 total tackles per game and for the season has 10 sacks. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging six receiving yards per game. This year he is averaging 17 receiving yards.
