Ben Walsh Delivers Best Effort of Season
Souderton was led to victory by Ben Walsh, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Thursday. Walsh threw for 270 yards and four touchdowns while completing 78.3% of his passes.

Big Game from Marshall As Souderton Won 35-6
Another Souderton player making an appearance on this list is Houston Marshall. He rushed for 77 yards and a touchdown on only nine carries. He didn't just play on offense: he also made a tackle and defended a pass in addition to snagging an interception.
This year, Marshall has run in 4 touchdowns while averaging 58.2 rushing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after eight games last season, he was only averaging 6.88 rushing yards per game.

Quakertown Gets a Boost from Martin in 54-14 Win
Quakertown found a leader in Brady Martin as the team took down Harry S. Truman on Thursday. Martin was dynamite, throwing for 146 yards and three touchdowns while completing 88.9% of his passes.
This season, Martin has thrown 18 touchdowns while averaging 190.9 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 37.3 passer rating per game. This year he is averaging 97.05 passer rating.

Aiden Burgy Dazzles in Quakertown Win
Keeping Martin company is Aiden Burgy, a fellow Quakertown player. He picked up 96 receiving yards and two touchdowns. He is on a roll when it comes to receiving touchdowns, as he's now hauled in two or more in the last five games he's played dating back to last season.
On the season, Burgy has caught 13 touchdowns while averaging 90 receiving yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after eight games last season, he was only averaging 53.75 receiving yards per game.

A Season-Best Performance from Hunter Smeltz Leads Souderton over Council Rock South
On Thursday, Souderton got the W thanks in part to Hunter Smeltz playing the best football he has all season. Smeltz picked up 71 receiving yards and two touchdowns. He has become a key player for Souderton: the team is undefeated when he posts at least two receiving touchdowns, but 2-3 otherwise.
On the season, Smeltz has caught 4 touchdowns while averaging 77 receiving yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after eight games last season, he was only averaging 19.13 receiving yards per game.
