Colonial-Schuylkill - C 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!
Dante Carr Delivers Best Effort of Season
Minersville was led to victory by Dante Carr, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Carr rushed for 207 yards and five touchdowns on only 15 carries, and also threw for 177 yards and two touchdowns, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 71-yard run.
Carr and Minersville will head out to square off against Tri-Valley at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The Battlin' Miners got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Bulldogs, probably because Carr had a solid game then too: he rushed for 44 yards and two touchdowns, and also threw for 165 yards and a touchdown on only 15 passes. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

Big Game from Carestia As Schuylkill Haven Won 81-6
Schuylkill Haven picked up their seventh consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Niko Carestia. Nobody could stop Carestia as he rushed for 222 yards and three touchdowns on only nine carries. His longest rush was for an incredible 73 yards.
Carestia might have his next game, a road matchup with Nativity BVM, circled on his calendar. When Carestia last faced the Green Wave back in September of 2023, he rushed for 169 yards and three touchdowns.
Gamescore: 60.30
Brady Shomper Delivers Electric Performance Vs Marian Catholic
Brady Shomper was a major factor in Williams Valley's victory over Marian Catholic on Friday. Shomper did his part (and then some), throwing for 256 yards and three touchdowns on only 14 passes, while also rushing for 49 yards for the 'W'.
Shomper and Williams Valley will look to defend their home field on Friday against Shenandoah Valley at 7:00 p.m. The Vikings got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Blue Devils, probably because Shomper had a solid game then too: he rushed for 57 yards and two touchdowns on only seven carries. Can he match (or beat) that performance?
Gamescore: 35.72
Colton Reber and Co. Win Seventh in a Row
Schuylkill Haven picked up their seventh consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Colton Reber. Reber was dynamite, rushing for 87 yards and two touchdowns on only five carries. His longest rush was for an impressive 61 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
For the year, Reber has run in 12 touchdowns while averaging 94.1 rushing yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 37.88 rushing yards per game.
