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!
Aiden Bliss Dazzles in Port Allegany Victory
Aiden Bliss was instrumental in extending Port Allegany's winning streak to seven on Friday. St. Marys had no answer to Bliss as he rushed for 212 yards and five touchdowns while picking up 10.1 yards per carry, and also picked up 30 receiving yards. Bliss' rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his seventh straight game with at least 127 rushing yards dating back to last season.
If the past is any indication, Bliss could be in store for another big game when he takes on Kane on Saturday. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Bliss saw the Wolves), he picked up 67 receiving yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 40 yards and a touchdown.

Bish Posts Huge Game in 30-27 Win
Winning always takes teamwork, but on Friday Owen Bish stepped things up a notch to give Union/Allegheny-Clarion Valley the 'W'. Bish was unstoppable, throwing for 180 yards and three touchdowns, while also rushing for 91 yards and a touchdown. He also put in work on the defensive side of the ball, forcing a fumble and making seven total tackles in addition to snagging an interception.
On the season, Bish has thrown 7 touchdowns while averaging 92.6 passing yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after seven games last season, he was only averaging 22.63 passer rating per game. This year he is averaging 81.13 passer rating.

Jacob Henry Turns in Season-Best Performance

Henry rushed for 134 yards and two touchdowns on only 11 carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He didn't just play on offense: he also forced a fumble and made 12 total tackles.
On the season, Henry has averaged 27.8 receiving yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 0.83 receiving yards per game.
