Inter-County - North 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!
A Season-Best Effort from Vincent Hoover Leads Juniata Valley over Curwensville
Vincent Hoover produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Juniata Valley to the win on Friday. Hoover rushed for 295 yards and four touchdowns, 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 eight total tackles.
On the season, Hoover has run in 6 touchdowns while averaging 63 rushing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after seven games last season, he was only averaging 0.14 rushing yards per game.

Reifer Came Up Big in Moshannon Valley's 29-18 Loss
Rocco Reifer continued his hot streak on Friday by dropping his fourth-straight game (dating back to last season) with at least 159 rushing yards. He rushed for 159 yards and a touchdown while picking up 7.6 yards per carry. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, forcing a fumble and making 15 total tackles.
Reifer is probably looking forward to his next game, a home matchup against West Branch on Friday. Reifer rushed for 96 yards and a touchdown on only seven carries the last time he and the Warriors duked it out back in October of 2023.

Georgie Bilger and Co. Win Third in a Row

Mason Campagna Turns in Another Game with at Least Two Rushing Touchdowns
Mason Campagna was instrumental in extending Claysburg-Kimmel's winning streak to six on Friday. Campagna was unstoppable, rushing for 104 yards and two touchdowns, while also throwing for 134 yards and a touchdown. He is on a roll when it comes to rushing touchdowns, as he's now punched in two or more in the last six games he's played dating back to last season.
Claysburg-Kimmel's win was their third straight at home, which pushed their record up to 6-2. Campagna and Claysburg-Kimmel will stay at home for another week and welcome Mount Union at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Nasir Collins Makes It Two for Mount Union
The second Mount Union player making an appearance here is Nasir Collins, and for good reason. He wasn't messing around on Friday, making ten total tackles. The contest was his third straight with two or more rushing touchdowns dating back to last season.
On the season, Collins has averaged 8.4 total tackles per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had one receiving touchdown. This year he is already up to two.
