Luke Kane Delivers Electric Effort Vs Lehighton
While Tamaqua might've come up empty on Friday, Luke Kane wasn't going down without a fight. Kane turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 140 yards and two touchdowns on only 15 carries, while also throwing for 134 yards on ten of 17 attempts.
This year, Kane has averaged 116.8 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had three rushing touchdowns. This year he is already up to ten.
Gamescore: 36.73
Pottsville found a leader in Tsirell Curry as the team took down Wilson Area on Friday. Curry was dynamite, picking up 76 receiving yards and a touchdown.
For the season, Curry has caught 5 touchdowns while averaging 87.6 receiving yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he had three receiving touchdowns.

Shane Hulmes Turns in Season-Best Performance
Northwestern Lehigh was led to victory by Shane Hulmes, who turned in his biggest game of the season 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. Hulmes picked up two sacks, forced a fumble, and made six total tackles (3.0 for loss) the last time he and the Blue Raiders duked it out back in August of 2023.
