Lancaster-Lebanon 2 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!
Jayden Zandier Goes Supernova in Exeter Township Win
Jayden Zandier's big game helped extend Exeter Township's winning streak to eight on Friday. Hempfield had no answer to Zandier as he rushed for 70 yards and two touchdowns, and also threw for 40 yards and a touchdown.
Hempfield's probably not too fond of Zandier given he always seems to get the better of them. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Zandier saw the Black Knights), he rushed for 251 yards and three touchdowns on only 15 carries.

Ephrata found a leader in Brayden Brown as the team took down Muhlenberg on Friday. Brown turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 73 yards.
Unfortunately for Muhlenberg, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Brown. Brown rushed for 111 yards and a touchdown on only ten carries, and also picked up 32 receiving yards the last time he and the Muhls duked it out back in October of 2023.
Gamescore: 26.65
Grant Posts Huge Game in 32-0 Win
Keeping Brown company is Caleb Grant, a fellow Ephrata player. He threw for 157 yards and two touchdowns, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground.
Grant and Ephrata will face off against Lebanon at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The Mountaineers got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Cedars, probably because Grant had a solid game then too: he threw for 128 yards and two touchdowns on only five passes. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

Teagan Ruble and Co. Win Eighth in a Row
Conestoga Valley picked up their eighth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Teagan Ruble. Ruble was unstoppable, picking up 86 receiving yards and a touchdown, while also rushing for 30 yards and a touchdown.
Conestoga Valley's win was their fourth straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 8-0. Ruble and Conestoga Valley will venture away from home to challenge Exeter Township at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
