RJ Tallion Tops All Others This Week
Starting off the list is Windber's RJ Tallion, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Tallion wasn't messing around on Friday, making six total tackles (1.0 for loss). The match was his fifth straight with two or more rushing touchdowns.
The win was the fifth in a row for Windber, bringing their record for this year to 8-2. Tallion and Windber will be playing in front of their home fans against Conemaugh Township at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Hutzell Came Up Big in Berlin Brothersvalley's 35-14 Win
Haydon Hutzell was a major factor in Berlin Brothersvalley's win over Moshannon Valley on Friday. Nobody could stop Hutzell as he picked up 159 receiving yards, and also rushed for 64 yards and a touchdown on only eight carries.
If the past is any indication, Hutzell could be in store for another big game when he takes on North Star on Friday. When Hutzell last faced the Cougars last Friday, he picked up 185 receiving yards and three touchdowns, and also rushed for 31 yards.

Ethan Smith Puts an End to North Star's Losing Streak on Friday
Ethan Smith helped snap North Star's three-game losing streak. Nobody could stop Smith on Friday as he rushed for 109 yards and a touchdown on only seven carries. His longest rush was for an impressive 68 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
Smith must have West Branch's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Smith picked up 241 receiving yards and three touchdowns the last time he and the Warriors duked it out back in October of 2023.
Gamescore: 40.38
Jordan Synowietz put up the most rushing yards he's had since back in August of 2023 on Friday. He rushed for three yards.
The win (which was Meyersdale's third in a row) raised their record to 6-4. Synowietz and Meyersdale are taking a road trip to take on Northern Bedford County at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Noah Lucko Makes Top Five
Rounding off our Top Five is Noah Lucko of Tussey Mountain. Lucko rushed for 72 yards.
Unfortunately for Curwensville, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Lucko. When Lucko last faced the Golden Tide back in October of 2023, he rushed for 120 yards and two touchdowns on only eight carries.
