Fadden Made His Presence Known in Mohawk Area's 47-20 Defeat
Starting off the list is Mohawk Area's Bobby Fadden, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Fadden threw for 176 yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 68 yards and a touchdown on only nine carries.
Mohawk Area's loss was their fourth straight on the road dating back to last season, which dropped their record down to 4-3. Fadden's next game is against Freedom Area on Friday, where he'll look to repeat that solid performance.

Kaden Docchio and Co. Win Seventh in a Row
Ellwood City picked up their seventh consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Kaden Docchio. Docchio was dynamite, picking up two sacks, forcing a fumble, and making seven total tackles. He is on a roll when it comes to total tackles, as he's now made seven or more in the last five games he's played dating back to last season.
Docchio is probably looking forward to his next game, a home matchup against Union Area on Friday. Docchio picked up two sacks and made ten total tackles the last time he and the Scotties duked it out back in September of 2023.

Another Game with at Least Five Total Tackles from Deklan O'brien
Deklan O'Brien's big game helped extend Ellwood City's winning streak to seven on Friday. O'Brien was unstoppable, picking up a sack and making ten total tackles (2.0 for loss).

This season, O'Brien has averaged 8.1 total tackles per game and for the season has 5.5 sacks. He is looking even better than he did last year: after seven games last season, he was only averaging five total tackles per game.
