WPIAL AA Allegheny 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!
A Season-Best Effort from Donald Barksdale Leads Steel Valley over Ligonier Valley
On Friday, Steel Valley got the W thanks in part to Donald Barksdale playing the best football he has all season. Barksdale rushed for 314 yards and three touchdowns on only five carries. The effort marked the most rushing yards he has had since back in August. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 76-yard run.
Ligonier Valley had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Barksdale it was a similar story. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Barksdale saw the Rams), he rushed for 221 yards and five touchdowns on only 14 carries.
