WPIAL A Eastern 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!
Samir Crosby Crosses Big Stat Threshold
Starting off the list is Greensburg Central Catholic's Samir Crosby, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Crosby rushed for 138 yards and three touchdowns, and also threw for 147 yards and two touchdowns. The performance once again pushed his average rushing yardage north of 100 yards per game (102.7). He didn't just play on offense: he also forced a fumble, made eight total tackles, and defended a pass in addition to snagging an interception.
Unfortunately for Jeannette, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Crosby. When Crosby last faced the Jayhawks back in October of 2023, he rushed for 90 yards and two touchdowns on only seven carries, and also picked up 39 receiving yards and a touchdown.

Jayden Floyd Delivers Electric Effort Vs Frazier
Jayden Floyd was instrumental in extending Leechburg's winning streak to seven on Friday. Frazier had no answer to Floyd as he rushed for 143 yards and three touchdowns on only five carries, and also threw for 100 yards while completing 88.9% of his passes.
Floyd must have Frazier's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Floyd rushed for 107 yards on only 11 carries, and also threw for 127 yards and a touchdown the last time he and the Commodores duked it out back in September of 2023.

Timmy Andrasy Delivers Best Effort of Season
On Friday, Leechburg got the W thanks in part to Timmy Andrasy playing the best football he has all season. Andrasy rushed for 145 yards and four touchdowns on only eight carries.
On the season, Andrasy has run in 9 touchdowns while averaging 82.7 rushing yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 11.57 rushing yards per game.

Big Game from Brown As Jeannette Fell 44-27
While Jeannette might've come up empty on Friday, Kymon'E Brown wasn't going down without a fight. Greensburg Central Catholic had no answer to Brown as he rushed for 205 yards while picking up 12.1 yards per carry, and also threw for 115 yards and two touchdowns. Brown also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making four total tackles and defending two passes.
Jeannette is on a three-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 4-3. Brown and Jeannette are on the road again on Friday to play Brentwood at 7:00 p.m.

Drahcir Jones' Big Game Leads Clairton over Springdale
Drahcir Jones's big game helped extend Clairton's winning streak to seven on Friday. Springdale had no answer to Jones as he rushed for 93 yards and two touchdowns. Jones showed off some serious burst, turning on the afterburners on one carry for 68 yards.
Jones and Clairton will take on Leechburg at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Jones will face off against Timmy Andrasy, the Blue Devils' star running back. With so much talent on the field, fans are surely in for an exciting game. The only thing left to see is who brings home the W.
