Brock Cornell Drops League-Best Performance on Friday
Starting off the list is West Allegheny's Brock Cornell, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Cornell made 11 total tackles (1.0 for loss). He also punched in four rushing touchdowns, which is notable because West Allegheny is undefeated when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns, but 2-3 otherwise.
West Allegheny has been performing well recently as they've won three of their last four contests, which provided a nice bump to their 5-3 record this season. Cornell and West Allegheny will take on Montour at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
