RUSHING

Another 5 players rushed for over 200 yards in week 8 with Andrew Davidson of Emmaus leading the group for the second week in a row.  Davidson rushed for 276 yards and 4 td’s in their win over Pocono Mountain East.  Davidson went over 1,000 yards for the season and now has 1,169 yards and 16 total td’s.

Shane Simpson of Easton ran for 248 yards and 5 td’s in their win over Liberty.  Simpson now has 26 td’s on the year and 70 for his career.  With the 5 td’s he scored last week, he moves by 6 players on the all-time Easton single season td list.  Ovid Goulbourne (21 in 2004), Brad Piperata (21 in 2003), Juan Gaddy (21 in 1991), Simpson (21 in 2013), Jeff Staton (23 in 1988) and Carl Henzelman (24 in 1917).  Eric Thompson holds the school record when he scored 30 td’s in 1993.  Simpson also surpassed 5 players on the all-time District 11 career td list and now sits in 10th place.  They are, Juan Gaddy of Easton with 65 from 1989-92, Eddie Scipio of BECA with 66 from 1998-01, Tosh Riddick of Dieruff who had 66 from 1995-97, Buddy Fegley of Schuylkill Haven with 68 from 1996-98 and Artie Owens of Stroudsburg who scored 69 td’s from 1969-71.  Simpson also sits in 9th place at Easton for single season rushing yards with his 1,266 yards.

Ryan Fink of Schuylkill Haven picked up the slack for injured teammate Will Casella and rushed for 237 yards and 4 td’s in their win over Minersville.  Fink went over 3,000 yards rushing for his career and now has 3,164 yards and 35 td’s.

Evan Culver of Saucon Valley rushed for 235 yards and 4 td’s in their win over Bangor.  Culver now has 1,056 yards for the season and has scored 17 td’s.

Harry Hall of Northwestern rushed for 228 yards and 4 td’s in their win over Palmerton.  Hall now has 30 career td’s.

Saquon Barkley of Whitehall scored 4 td’s in a game for the 4th time this year.  Barkley leads the District with 27 td’s, one more than Simpson.  Barkley also moved into 4th place all-time for rushing yards in a single season at Whitehall.  Javon Tatum ran for 1,400 yards in 1994 and now moves down to 5th place.

Gerald Douglas of Stroudsburg scored his 50th career td in their win over Bethlehem Catholic.  That breaks the tie he had with 4 other players on the District career list.  The former players with 49 career td’s are Don Diorio of Pius X (1965-67), Josh Snyder of Northwestern (1995-97), Eric Fiore of BECA/Whitehall (2007-10) and Jarel Elder of Parkland (2010-12).

Michael McDaniel of Bethlehem Catholic joins this list with his 2 td’s he scored vs Stroudsburg.  Larrame Furman of Phillipsburg (1988-90) also ended his career with 49 td’s.  Matt Miller of Williams Valley, KJ Snerr of Marian and Bud Moyer of Tamaqua all went over 1,000 yards rushing for the season.  Junior, Wyatt Clements of Lehighton went over 2,000 yards for his career and now has 2,018 yards and has scored 35 td’s.

 

PASSING

Tre Jordan of Pius X was the only quarterback in the District to throw for over 200 yards in week eight.  Jordan threw for 362 yards and 4 td’s in their win over Pottsville Nativity.  Jordan, a junior, now has thrown 40 career td passes.

Travis Edmond of Southern Lehigh is tied with his brother Ty for the school’s single season td pass record.  Both have 19, while Travis now has 50 career td passes and needs 91 yards to reach 5,000 yards passing for his career.

Doug Erney of Liberty now has 1,836 yards passing and has thrown 18 td passes this year.  The yardage places him in 2nd place at Liberty behind Dan Persa’s 2,104 yards that he set in 2006.  Erney’s 18 td passes is good enough for 3rd place at Liberty behind Persa’s 24 and 21 td seasons of 2005 and 2006.   Erney, a junior, also joined the “4,000 yard” club and now has thrown for 4,047 yards in his career.  Erney leads Jordan by 30 yards for the District lead in passing yards this year, while Jordan is first in the District with 22 td passes.

Bobby Grigas of undefeated North Schuylkill threw for 4 td passes in their win over previously unbeaten Jim Thorpe.  Grigas was 5 of 6 for 100 yards in the game and now has 1,042 yards and 16 td passes on the year and 30 td passes for his career.

Julian Spigner of Bethlehem Catholic went over 3,000 yards passing in his career and now has 3,087 yards and 36 td’s.

Nick Rodichok of Williams Valley joins the 1,000 yard group for the season and now has thrown for 1,081 yards.

 

RECEIVING

Tevin Murray of North Schuylkill kept the streak alive when he caught 3 catches for 60 yards and 3 td’s.  That’s eight weeks with at least one player catching 3 td’s in a game.  Murray, a junior at 6′ 5″, now has 27 catches on the year with 9 of them going for touchdowns.

Freddie Simmons of Bethlehem Catholic had an 80 yard td run.  He also had a 90 yard kick-off return td called back.  Simmons is still one td catch behind Golden Hawk career record holder Frank Trovato, who had 20 td catches from 2000-02.

Cam Richardson of Northwestern caught his District leading 11th td pass last week.  That gives him 20 for his career.

Nate Stewart of Pius X also has 20 career td catches and now has 101 career catches.  Stewart stretched his District 11 reception’s lead to 52.  Stewart also took over first place in reception yardage with 672 yards.

Ethan Price of Southern Lehigh drops to second with 657 yards and Jake Kober is close behind with 646 yards.

Blake Cassalia of Palisades caught 9 passes for 184 yards and 2 td’s in their win over Notre Dame.  The 9 catches ties the school record which is held by Ron Gelegonya.  Gelegonya had 9 catches in a game in 1990.  Conner Sullivan of Whitehall now has 1,001 yards receiving for his career.
