Due to unforeseen circumstances (computer failure), Protime regretted not being able to post last week’s D-9 review.  But he is back in business with a new computer and still learning the ropes as they say.  

Here are the top performers of the week, along with a couple other tidbits:

Quarterbacks:

• Dom Corcetti, Keystone, had 288 all-purpose yards, threw for 3 touchdowns, rushed for another, and had a defensive score see below under (‘Defensive and Special Teams’).
• Braylon Wagner, Redbank Valley, passed for 251 yards and 5 TDs.
• Trey Wingard, DuBois, had 5 TD tosses.
• Shane Magee, Otto-Eldred, accounted for all four of his team’s scores by passing for 2 touchdowns, running for another, and had a defensive TD see (‘Defense and Special Teams’).

 Running Backs:

• Kellen Veilleux, Port Allegany, scored a total of 6 TDs (two running the ball, two receiving, and two on special teams).
• Aiden Bliss, Port Allegany, rushed for 197 yards on only 11 totes.
• Jordan Rutan, Punxsy, also ran for 197 yards.
• Andrew Field, St. Marys, beat feet for 175 yards and a trio of touchdowns.
• Eli Nellis, Keystone, produced 215 all-purpose yards along with 3 scores – 2 receiving and 1 rushing.

Receivers:

• Jaxson Hanzely, DuBois, continued his onslaught with 135 receiving yards and 3 TDs.
• Jaxon Huffman, Redbank Valley, latched onto 9 aerials for 119 yards and 3 touchdowns.  He also scored a 4th TD when he ran the ball into the end zone.

 Defense and Special Teams:

• Kellen Veilleux, Port Allegany, had a kickoff return of 83 yards for a touchdown and also had a punt return score of 52 yards..

• Parker Calgren, Brookville, garnered an 81-yard kickoff return TD.
• Jonah Ganoe, Smethport, journeyed 80 yards to score on yet another kickoff touchdown return.  That is 5 kickoff return TDs this week.

• Christian Driskell, Coudersport, returned a fumble to the house.
• Landon Cook, St. Marys, brought down an amazing 20 ball carriers.
• Maddox Barnes, DuBois, kicked 7 PATs and a FG.  He is perfect this year so far going 29 for 29 in point afters and 1 for 1 in the field goal department.

Other Tidbits:

• Union/A-C Valley is now 4-0 with their win over Cameron County.  That appears to be the first time the co-op has started out 4-0 in its 10-year existence. 
•  Seven different Karns City Gremlins scored touchdowns in their game with Moniteau. 

Game of the Week: Once again we’ll go with two.  The first one found Punxsy coming back in the fourth quarter against Central Clarion to stay undefeated by beating the Wildcats 24-21.  The game was back and forth, but the Chucks found a way to score 10 points in the last quarter, the final three and game winning margin came on a field goal by Owen Roken with less than three minutes left in the contest.

Clearfield was involved in the other game of the week.  The Bison led 15-0 at halftime, only to have Bellefonte come back and tie the game in the 4th quarter.  Then the Bison had to block the potential game winning field goal try to send the game into overtime.  Clearfield then got the winning score when Zavier Curry found paydirt after Bellefonte kicked a field goal in overtime to take the short-lived lead.  The final score was Clearfield 21 Bellefonte 18. 

Upcoming Game of the Week:

• Punxsutawney 4-0 @ Karns City 3-1
