by Duke Helm

RUNNINGBACKS:

QUARTERBACKS:

Deven Bollinger of Northwestern threw another 5 td passes and went over 1,000 yards passing for the season to help the Tigers defeat Saucon Valley.  Bollinger tied his own school record that he set earlier this year with the 5 td’s.  The junior now has 50 career td passes which ties him with Frank Dangello (2011-14) for the school record.  Logan Edmond of Southern Lehigh threw 3 td passes to break the career school record that his brother Travis held.  Logan now has 57 career td passes vs 55 that Travis threw from 2012-14.  Cole DeFranco of Notre Dame threw for 236 yards and 4 td’s in their win over Catasauqua.  DeFranco leads the District with 2,356 yards passing and 29 td passes.  His career totals stand at 8,819 yards passing and 85 td passes which are 2nd and 3rd place all-time in the District.  He moved ahead of Trey Jordan of Pius X/Notre Dame.  Jordan threw 83 career td’s from 2012-15.  Anthony Harris of Nazareth threw for 382 yards and 3 td’s in their win over Whitehall which puts him over 2,000 yards passing for the 2nd year in a row.  Jared Jenkins of Freedom threw 2 td’s vs Emmaus and is now tied for the single-season record and breaks the career mark.  The junior’s 20 td passes this year ties him with Ryan Rogan who threw 20 td’s in 1997.  His 37 career td’s breaks the record of 35 that Jeff Haberl threw from 1995 and 1996.  Dylan Rinker of PM East threw a school record 6 td passes vs ES North.  He now has 15 on the season which ties him for the school record with Gary Lynn (1973) and Evan Fardella (2010).  Ethan Brader of Palisades threw 2 td passes vs Northern Lehigh to set the school career td pass record.  Kevin Burke (1973-75) and Kyle Jensen (2005-07) each threw 29 td passes in their careers and Brader now has 30 for his career.  Brader has scored 31 td’s himself and is nearing 2,000 career rushing yards.  Ethan
