Ty Dumm posted a new career-high in rushing yards on Friday. He rushed for 233 yards while picking up 13.7 yards per carry, and also threw for 144 yards on 14 of 20 attempts.
Dumm must have Conemaugh Township's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Dumm rushed for 137 yards and a touchdown on only eight carries the last time he and the Indians duked it out back in September of 2023.

Portage Gets a Boost from Layo in 16-0 Win
Bode Layo put up the most rushing yards he's had since back in September of 2023 on Friday. He rushed for 39 yards and a touchdown, and also picked up 41 receiving yards.
Purchase Line's probably not too fond of Layo given he always seems to get the better of them. When Layo last faced the Red Dragons back in September of 2023, he picked up 159 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
