Marshall Came Up Big in Souderton's 35-6 Win
Keeping Walsh company is Houston Marshall, a fellow Souderton player. 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 season, 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.

Big Game from Martin As Quakertown Won 54-14
Brady Martin was a major factor in Quakertown's victory over Harry S. Truman on Thursday. Martin turned in nothing short of a gem, throwing for 146 yards and three touchdowns while completing 88.9% of his passes.
On the year, Martin has thrown 18 touchdowns while averaging 190.9 passing yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after eight games last season, he was only averaging 37.3 passer rating per game. This year he is averaging 97.05 passer rating.

Aiden Burgy's Big Game Leads Quakertown over Harry S. Truman
Another Quakertown player making an appearance on this list is Aiden Burgy. 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.
Burgy and Quakertown will head out on the road to face off against Council Rock South at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The Panthers had to take a loss when they last met the Golden Hawks, but Burgy had little to do with the loss: he picked up 107 receiving yards and a touchdown. Can he match (or beat) that performance?
