Colonial-Schuylkill - C 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!
Dante Carr's Big Game Leads Minersville over Tri-Valley
Starting off the list is Minersville's Dante Carr, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Carr rushed for 146 yards and four touchdowns on only nine carries, and also threw for 176 yards and two touchdowns on only 15 passes. Carr is crushing it when it comes to rushing yards: he's rushed for at least 101 every time he's taken the field this season.
If history really does repeat itself, Carr might just drop another big game when he faces off against Panther Valley on Thursday. When Carr last faced the Panthers back in September of 2023, he threw for 204 yards and two touchdowns while completing 85.7% of his passes, and also rushed for 31 yards and a touchdown.

Fletcher Thompson Turns in Season-Best Effort
Williams Valley was led to victory by Fletcher Thompson, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Thompson rushed for 179 yards and three touchdowns on only eight carries.
Williams Valley's win was their fifth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 8-1. Thompson and Williams Valley will square off against Pine Grove on Friday.

Brady Shomper Makes It Two for Williams Valley
Another Williams Valley player making an appearance on this list is Brady Shomper. He threw for 245 yards and four touchdowns while completing 81.8% of his passes, and also rushed for 83 yards and a touchdown. He has been hot recently, having posted three or more passing touchdowns the last three times he's played.
For the season, Shomper has thrown 24 touchdowns while averaging 186.6 passing yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after nine games last season, he was only averaging 17 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 69.22 rushing yards.

Underclassman Rory Dixon Major Player in Marian Catholic Win
It was an underclassman who stole the show on Friday as Rory Dixon came into the game on a mission. He was unstoppable, rushing for 138 yards and three touchdowns.
Dixon must have Pine Grove's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. When Dixon last faced Pine Grove back in October of 2023, he rushed for 163 yards and a touchdown.
Gamescore: 38.90
Crisswell Posts Huge Game in 75-3 Victory
Another Williams Valley player making an appearance on this list is Brayden Crisswell. He picked up three sacks and made five total tackles.
On the season, Crisswell has averaged 5.2 total tackles per game and for the season has 10 sacks. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging six receiving yards per game. This year he is averaging 17 receiving yards.
