2026 District Nine Review – 11th Week Action
Phil Myers | November 10, 2026
Here are the top performers of the week along with a couple other tidbits:
Quarterbacks:
- Cole Johnston, Karns City, went 6 for 6 passing with a touchdown, and he ran for 132 yards and a pair of scores.
- Aiden Patton, Brockway, passed for 152 yards and 2 TDs. He also ran for 80 yards and a score.
- Jayce Brothers, Clearfield, threw for two touchdowns on his two passes thrown. He also ran for 114 yards.
- Andrew Kifer, Union/AC Valley, tossed 2 TD passes.
Running Backs:
- London Duncan, DuBois, ran for 191 yards and scored a touchdown on a 96 yard run. No word yet if this was the longest touchdown via the rush in the storied history of DuBois football.
- Isaac Postlewait, Port Allegany, scored 3 touchdowns as he rushed for over 200 yards.
- Kellen Veilleux, Port Allegany, rushed for 122 yards and tallied 3 TDs.
- Ben Bash, Brockway, scored 3 times, two running the ball and one receiving.
- Owen Steger, Ridgway, found the end zone twice running the ball.
- Markus Gerg, Ridgway, ran for 116 yards.
Wide Receivers:
- Elijah Glunt, Clearfield, only caught two passes but both went for touchdowns.
- Jackson Mravintz, Central Clarion, had 8 grabs for 104 yards.
Defense and Special Teams:
- Maddox Dickerson, Smethport, returned a kickoff 85 yards for a touchdown.
- Tyson Frazer, Karns City, ran an onside kickoff attempt back 49 yards for a TD.
- Xavier Schwentner, Brockway, had a pick six of 10 yards.
- Cole Johnston, Karns City, scooped up a fumble and picked off a pass in his game with Central Clarion.
- The Karns City Gremlin defense forced 6 turnovers and blocked a punt.
- The Clearfield Bison defense allowed only 4 completions out of 20 pass attempts amounting to 17 yards total.
- The Port Allegany Gator defense limited Smethport to 138 yards of total offense.
- The Ridgway Elker defense held Redbank Valley to 140 total yards.
Other Tidbits:
- D-9 and 10 Sports is reporting that Kellen Veilleux of Port Allegany is closing in on a rarity. He has 982 yards rushing for the year and 958 yards receiving. He could go over the thousand yard mark for both this week against Brockway. That is very rare.
- Port Allegany’s offense piled up 539 yards of offense and 450 of those yards were running the ball.
- Brockway has now won 9 straight football games and may be heading for a showdown in the 1A championship contest with Keystone, who has won 8 in a row.
Game(s) of the Week:
- The score was 7-0 heading into the fourth quarter. Karns City led Central Clarion on a second quarter touchdown drive that took over seven minutes and covered 92 yards. Both defenses were playing great, especially Central Clarion’s because their offense had turned the ball over five times through three quarters plus they had a punt blocked. So, it was through a gritty tough defense that the Wildcats only trailed by a touchdown. But the turnover bug bit Clarion in the last stanza as Karns City took advantage of the fifth turnover, not scoring until the fourth quarter. Then a sixth turnover resulted in another KC touchdown. Both were very short field drives and allowed KC to go up 21-0. And just when the Wildcats finally scored and had a glimmer of hope, the Gremlins returned the onside kick for a touchdown. Final – Karns City 28 Central Clarion 7.
