Luke Kane Goes Supernova in Tamaqua Loss
Tamaqua was sadly handed a defeat on Friday, but Luke Kane did his best to prevent it. Nobody could stop Kane as he rushed for 140 yards and two touchdowns on only 15 carries, and also threw for 134 yards on ten of 17 attempts.

Shane Hulmes Delivers Best Effort of Season
Shane Hulmes produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Northwestern Lehigh to the win on Friday. Hulmes wasn't messing around, picking up three sacks, forcing a fumble, and making eight total tackles. The game was his ninth straight with five or more total tackles dating back to last season.
If history really does repeat itself, Hulmes might just drop another big game when he faces off against Tamaqua on Friday. When Hulmes last faced the Blue Raiders back in August of 2023, he picked up two sacks, forced a fumble, and made six total tackles (3.0 for loss).
