District 9 Region 2 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!
Aiden Bliss Dazzles in Port Allegany Win
Aiden Bliss's big game helped extend Port Allegany's winning streak to seven on Friday. Bliss was unstoppable, rushing for 212 yards and five touchdowns while picking up 10.1 yards per carry, and also picking up 30 receiving yards. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his seventh straight game with at least 127 rushing yards dating back to last season.
If history really does repeat itself, Bliss might just drop another big game when he faces off against Kane on Saturday. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Bliss saw the Wolves), he picked up 67 receiving yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 40 yards and a touchdown.
Gamescore: 70.83
Bish Posts Huge Game in 30-27 Win
Union/Allegheny-Clarion Valley took down Punxsutawney on Friday, a win that might not have happened without Owen Bish's standout effort. Bish was unstoppable, throwing for 180 yards and three touchdowns, while also rushing for 91 yards and a touchdown. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, forcing a fumble and making seven total tackles in addition to snagging an interception.
On the year, Bish has thrown 7 touchdowns while averaging 92.6 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 22.63 passer rating per game. This year he is averaging 81.13 passer rating.

A Season-Best Effort from Jacob Henry Leads Keystone over Moniteau
On Friday, Keystone got the W thanks in part to Jacob Henry playing the best football he has all season. Henry rushed for 134 yards and two touchdowns on only 11 carries, 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 12 total tackles.
For the year, Henry has averaged 27.8 receiving yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after six games last season, he was only averaging 0.83 receiving yards per game.
