Kole Doppelheuer Turns in Season-Best Effort
On Friday, Belle Vernon got the W thanks in part to Kole Doppelheuer playing the best football he has all season. Doppelheuer rushed for 125 yards and three touchdowns on only eight carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He also put in work on the defensive side of the ball, making four total tackles and defending a pass in addition to snagging an interception.
With the win, Belle Vernon broke their three-game losing streak and moved their record to 2-4. Doppelheuer and Belle Vernon will welcome Laurel Highlands at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Laurel Highlands is on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four games, which provided a nice bump to their 4-2 record this season. Black will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant performance when he faces off against Belle Vernon on Friday.
