It was a breakout game, the best of the season for Eli Farence.
His four catches for 67 yards and a 32-yard touchdown marked perhaps his best performance on offense, and he copied the feat on defense with five tackles and two interceptions–the second at the 4-yard line with 26 seconds left locked up an Upper Dauphin victory. .
That two-way play was enough for Upper Dauphin fans to vote the senior receiver/defensive back this week’s 4th Down Magazine Player of the Week. Farence’s efforts helped the Trojans secure a 42-35 win over Big Spring.
Farence has been steady for UDA this season, with 26 tackles and three picks on defense, and 13 receptions for 237 yards and two scores on offense.
He earned 210 of the 833 total votes cast, beating Line Mountain running back/linebacker Chandon Maurer (182) for Week 9 honors.
