A Season-Best Effort from Haydon Hutzell Leads Berlin Brothersvalley over North Star

Windber Wins Fourth-Straight Thanks to RJ Tallion
Windber picked up their fourth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to RJ Tallion. Tallion was excellent, making three total tackles (1.0 for loss). The performance once again pushed his average rushing yardage north of 100 yards per game (103.4). He is also on a roll when it comes to rushing touchdowns, as he's now punched in two or more in the last four games he's played dating back to last season.
Windber's victory bumped their record up to 7-2. Tallion and Windber will look to defend their home field on Friday against Juniata Valley at 7:00 p.m.

Big Game from Harman As Everett Fell 28-27
Everett was sadly handed a defeat on Friday, but Jakobe Harman did his best to prevent it. Harman turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 245 yards and two touchdowns.
Harman is probably looking forward to his next game, a road matchup against Claysburg-Kimmel on Friday. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Harman saw the Bulldogs), he rushed for 149 yards.
