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
On Friday, Juniata Valley got the W thanks in part to Vincent Hoover playing the best football he has all season. Hoover rushed for 295 yards and four touchdowns, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, forcing a fumble and making eight total tackles.
This 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.

Moshannon Valley Gets a Boost from Reifer in 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.
If history really does repeat itself, Reifer might just drop another big game when he faces off 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
Georgie Bilger was instrumental in extending Mount Union's winning streak to three on Friday. Bilger was dynamite, picking up two sacks and making 14 total tackles (3.0 for loss).

Another Game with at Least Two Rushing Touchdowns from Mason Campagna
Claysburg-Kimmel picked up their sixth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Mason Campagna. 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 pushed their record up to 6-2 with the victory, which was their third straight at home. Their homestand will continue as they prepare to take on Mount Union at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Nasir Collins Makes It Two for Mount Union
Another Mount Union player making an appearance on this list is Nasir Collins. He wasn't messing around on Friday, making ten total tackles. The match was his third straight with two or more rushing touchdowns dating back to last season.
This 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.
