Donald Barksdale Turns in Season-Best Effort
Donald Barksdale produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Steel Valley to the win on Friday. Barksdale rushed for 314 yards and three touchdowns on only five carries. The effort marked the most rushing yards he has had since back in August. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 76-yard run.
Barksdale must have Ligonier Valley's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. When Barksdale last faced the Rams back in September of 2023, he rushed for 221 yards and five touchdowns on only 14 carries.
