A Season-Best Effort from Vincent Hoover Leads Juniata Valley over Curwensville
Juniata Valley was led to victory by Vincent Hoover, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday.

He didn't just play on offense: he also forced a fumble and made eight total tackles.

Moshannon Valley Gets a Boost from Reifer in 29-18 Defeat
Rocco Reifer's rushing tear continued on Friday as he dropped his fourth-straight game with 159+ rushing yards dating back to last season. 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.
Reifer might have his next game, a home matchup with West Branch, circled on his calendar. 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.

Mason Campagna Delivers Electric Performance Vs Moshannon Valley
Claysburg-Kimmel picked up their sixth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Mason Campagna. Nobody could stop Campagna as he rushed for 104 yards and two touchdowns, and also threw 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
The second Mount Union player making an appearance here is Nasir Collins, and for good reason. He wasn't messing around on Friday, making ten total tackles. The matchup was his third straight with two or more rushing touchdowns dating back to last season.
For the season, Collins has averaged 8.4 total tackles per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 8.75 receiving yards per game. This year he is averaging 16.75 receiving yards.
