Mid-Penn - Colonial 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!
Joy Came Up Big in Trinity's 40-34 Defeat
Starting off the list is Trinity's Christian Joy, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Joy rushed for 214 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 7.6 yards per carry. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 84-yard run.
Joy's next matchup is against Middletown on Friday, where he'll look to repeat that solid effort. The last time Joy took on the Blue Raiders, he picked up 76 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 47 yards. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

JJ Gossard Turns in Season-Best Effort
East Pennsboro was led to victory by JJ Gossard, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Gossard rushed for 145 yards and three touchdowns on only 11 carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. His longest rush was for an impressive 56 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
East Pennsboro pushed their record up to 6-3 with the win, which was their fourth straight on the road. Gossard and East Pennsboro will challenge Big Spring at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
