Josh Myer Delivers Best Effort of Season
Cocalico came up short on Friday despite Josh Myer delivering his best game to date. Myer rushed for 162 yards and two touchdowns on only 13 carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 85-yard run.
Cocalico's loss ended an 11-game streak of wins at home dating back to last season and dropped them to 6-3. Myer and Cocalico will take on Fleetwood at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

A Season-Best Performance from Gabe Martin Leads Garden Spot over Manheim Central
On Friday, Garden Spot got the W thanks in part to Gabe Martin playing the best football he has all season. Martin rushed for 88 yards and two touchdowns, and also threw for 32 yards and a touchdown. He didn't just play on offense: he also picked up a sack and made 13 total tackles (3.0 for loss).
For the season, Martin has thrown 2 touchdowns while averaging 16.9 passing yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after eight games last season, he was only averaging 19.5 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 50.88 rushing yards.

Kris Burgos-Wise Sets Career High in Rushing Yards
Kris Burgos-Wise produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Solanco to the win on Friday.

Conrad Weiser had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Horning it was a similar story. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Horning saw the Scouts), he rushed for 214 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 8.2 yards per carry.
