WPIAL AAA Western Hills 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!
Amari Jackson Goes Supernova in Beaver Win
Starting off the list is Beaver's Amari Jackson, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Jackson picked up 79 receiving yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 61 yards and a touchdown.
The win was the third in a row for Beaver, bringing their record for this year to 6-2. Jackson and Beaver will look to defend their home field on Friday against Quaker Valley at 7:30 p.m.
Gamescore: 54.75
While Quaker Valley might've come up empty on Friday, Jack Diemert wasn't going down without a fight. Despite the defeat, Diemert was still balling out as he rushed for 54 yards and a touchdown.
Quaker Valley is on a three-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 1-6. Diemert and Quaker Valley will head out on the road to challenge Beaver at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.
Gamescore: 27.02
Drey Hall Makes It Two for Beaver
The second Beaver player making an appearance here is Drey Hall, and for good reason. He rushed for 90 yards on only eight carries.
Hall and Beaver will face off against Quaker Valley at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. The Bobcats got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Quakers, probably because Hall had a solid game then too: he rushed for 103 yards on only ten carries. Can he match (or beat) that performance?
Gamescore: 26.30
Armstrong Made His Presence Known in Hopewell's 35-25 Defeat
James Armstrong posted a new career-high in rushing yards on Friday. He rushed for 122 yards and a touchdown, and also threw for 167 yards and a touchdown.
Hopewell's loss dropped their record down to 4-4. They and Central Valley are set to duel on Friday.
Gamescore: 24.63
Qualan Cain Turns in Another Game with at Least Two Rushing Touchdowns
Another Beaver player making an appearance on this list is Qualan Cain. He rushed for 74 yards and two touchdowns on only ten carries. He is on a roll when it comes to rushing touchdowns, as he's now punched in two or more in the last three games he's played dating back to last season.
Cain is probably looking forward to his next game, a home matchup against Quaker Valley on Friday. When Cain last faced the Quakers back in October of 2023, he rushed for 136 yards on only 13 carries.
