Kade Koroneos Has Career-Day on Friday
Kade Koroneos produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Wheeling Central Catholic to the win on Friday. Koroneos rushed for 121 yards and a touchdown on only 11 carries, and also picked up 55 receiving yards, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. His longest reception was for an impressive 63 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per catch total.
This season, Koroneos has averaged 37.3 receiving yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had one rushing touchdown. This year he is already up to three.
Gamescore: 32.22
Weir was sadly handed a loss on Friday, but Lucas Mcallister did his best to prevent it. Keyser had no answer to Mcallister as he made five total tackles (1.0 for loss).
Weir is on a four-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 1-4. Mcallister and Weir will challenge East Fairmont at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
