WPIAL A Eastern 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!
Samir Crosby Crosses Big Stat Threshold
Starting off the list is Greensburg Central Catholic's Samir Crosby, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Crosby rushed for 138 yards and three touchdowns, and also threw for 147 yards and two touchdowns. He's now once again averaging 100+ rushing yards (102.7) per game. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, forcing a fumble, making eight total tackles, and defending a pass in addition to snagging an interception.
Crosby must have Jeannette's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Crosby saw the Jayhawks), he rushed for 90 yards and two touchdowns on only seven carries, and also picked up 39 receiving yards and a touchdown.
