Vincent Hoover Turns in Season-Best Effort
Juniata Valley was led to victory by Vincent Hoover, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Hoover rushed for 295 yards and four touchdowns, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He didn't just play on offense: he also forced a fumble and made eight total tackles.
For the season, Hoover has run in 6 touchdowns while averaging 63 rushing yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 0.14 rushing yards per game.

Moshannon Valley Gets a Boost from Reifer in 29-18 Loss
Rocco Reifer continued his hot streak on Friday by dropping his fourth-straight game (dating back to last season) with at least 159 rushing yards. He rushed for 159 yards and a touchdown while picking up 7.6 yards per carry. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, forcing a fumble and making 15 total tackles.
Reifer is probably looking forward to his next game, a home matchup against West Branch on Friday. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Reifer saw the Warriors), he rushed for 96 yards and a touchdown on only seven carries.

Another Game with at Least Two Rushing Touchdowns from Mason Campagna
Claysburg-Kimmel picked up their sixth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Mason Campagna. Nobody could stop Campagna as he rushed for 104 yards and two touchdowns, and also threw for 134 yards and a touchdown. He is on a roll when it comes to rushing touchdowns, as he's now punched in two or more in the last six games he's played dating back to last season.
Claysburg-Kimmel pushed their record up to 6-2 with the win, which was their third straight at home. Campagna and Claysburg-Kimmel will play host again on Friday to welcome Mount Union, where kickoff is scheduled at 7:00 p.m.
