Colonial-Schuylkill - A 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!
Northwestern Lehigh Wins Seventh-Straight Thanks to Eli Zimmerman
Northwestern Lehigh picked up their seventh consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Eli Zimmerman. Zimmerman's rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his fourth straight game with at least 152 rushing yards dating back to last season. He showed off some serious burst, turning on the afterburners on one carry for 66 yards.
Northwestern Lehigh pushed their record up to 7-0 with the win, which was their fourth straight at home. Zimmerman and Northwestern Lehigh will have some time to savor their victory since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Tamaqua at 7:00 p.m. on October 18th.

Cole Lazorick's Big Game Leads Jim Thorpe over Catasauqua
Jim Thorpe's five-game losing streak is now nothing but a memory thanks in part to Cole Lazorick. Lazorick did his part (and then some), throwing for 205 yards and four touchdowns while completing 91.7% of his passes, and also punching in a touchdown on the ground for the 'W'.
Lazorick and Jim Thorpe will have some time to savor their win since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Bangor at 7:00 p.m. on October 18th. The Olympians had to take a loss when they last met the Slaters, but Lazorick had little to do with the loss: he rushed for 62 yards and a touchdown, and also threw for 176 yards and a touchdown. Can he match (or beat) that performance?
