Lackawanna 1 Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances in games played on Thursday and Friday (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Zach Cwalinski Delivers Best Performance of Season
On Friday, Valley View got the W thanks in part to Zach Cwalinski playing the best football he has all season. Cwalinski rushed for 165 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 9.7 yards per carry, and also threw for 107 yards and a touchdown, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He was no stranger to the big play, taking off on a dash that went for 67 yards.
The victory (which was Valley View's seventh in a row) raised their record to 7-1. Cwalinski will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant effort when he faces off against Wyoming Valley West on Friday.
Gamescore: 48.83
Delaware Valley was sadly handed a defeat on Friday, but Michael Iuzzolino did his best to prevent it. Despite the loss, Iuzzolino was still balling out as he made 17 total tackles.
The defeat snapped Delaware Valley's winning streak at three games and leaves them with a 3-5 record. They and North Pocono are set to duel on Friday.
Gamescore: 47.80
Nick Bradley Turns in Season-Best Effort
Abington Heights was led to victory by Nick Bradley, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Thursday. Bradley rushed for 31 yards and three touchdowns, and also threw for 216 yards and two touchdowns. He has become a key player for Abington Heights: the team is 2-1 when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns, but 2-3 otherwise.
Bradley and Abington Heights will head out to square off against Scranton at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Bradley will face off against Brody Coyle, the Knights' star signal caller. So who wins this QB-duel? There's only one way to know for sure.
