WPIAL A Eastern 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!
Samir Crosby Crosses Big Stat Threshold
Starting off the list is Greensburg Central Catholic's Samir Crosby, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Crosby rushed for 138 yards and three touchdowns, and also threw for 147 yards and two touchdowns. He's now once again averaging 100+ rushing yards (102.7) per game. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, forcing a fumble, making eight total tackles, and defending a pass in addition to snagging an interception.
Jeannette had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Crosby it was a similar story. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Crosby saw the Jayhawks), he rushed for 90 yards and two touchdowns on only seven carries, and also picked up 39 receiving yards and a touchdown.

Jayden Floyd's Big Game Leads Leechburg over Frazier
Leechburg picked up their seventh consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Jayden Floyd. Floyd did his part (and then some), rushing for 143 yards and three touchdowns on only five carries, while also throwing for 100 yards while completing 88.9% of his passes for the 'W'.
Frazier's probably not too fond of Floyd given he always seems to get the better of them. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Floyd saw the Commodores), he rushed for 107 yards on only 11 carries, and also threw for 127 yards and a touchdown.

Timmy Andrasy Turns in Season-Best Performance

On the year, Andrasy has run in 9 touchdowns while averaging 82.7 rushing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after seven games last season, he was only averaging 11.57 rushing yards per game.

Brown Came Up Big in Jeannette's 44-27 Loss
Jeannette was sadly handed a defeat on Friday, but Kymon'E Brown did his best to prevent it. Despite the loss, Brown was still balling out as he rushed for 205 yards while picking up 12.1 yards per carry, and also threw for 115 yards and two touchdowns. He also put in work on the defensive side of the ball, making four total tackles and defending two passes.
Jeannette is on a three-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 4-3. Brown and Jeannette will be staying on the road on Friday to face off against Brentwood at 7:00 p.m.

Drahcir Jones's big game helped extend Clairton's winning streak to seven on Friday. Nobody could stop Jones as he rushed for 93 yards and two touchdowns. He was no stranger to the big play, taking off on a dash that went for 68 yards.
Jones and Clairton will take on Leechburg at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Jones will face off against Timmy Andrasy, the Blue Devils' star running back. Will the matchup be decided in the trenches? We'll have our answer very soon.
