Alex Achenbach, Williams Valley, jr., RB/DB: Rolling up his third game of 200-plus rushing yards in as many weeks, Achenbach’s productive output helped propel the Vikings to a 40-7 victory over Marian Catholic. Achenbach rushed 21 times for 219 yards, but he also hauled in two passes for 49 yards and another score. Defensively, the talented junior recorded three tackles and picked off one Marian throw.
Brad Rissmiller, Pen Argyl, jr., QB/FS: Brad Rissmiller carved up the Schuykill Haven defense Friday night en route to a 39-16 victory. Rissmiller aired it out all night, completing 10-of-14 passes for 256 yards and four touchdowns.
Logan Williard, Williams Valley, sr., RB/LB: Although Williard rushed seven times for 50 yards and caught one pass for seven yards and a touchdown, the driven senior was a beast defensively in Williams Valley’s 40-7 victory over Marian Catholic. Williard recorded 10 tackles – including a handful of solo stops – but he also recovered one fumble as Vikings head coach Tim Savage pocketed career victory No. 100. Williard’s efforts meant plenty as Marian managed just 26 rushing yards on 29 carries and 151 overall.
Jack Robertson, Saucon Valley, so., WR/FS: When Saucon Valley needed a touchdown, QB1 Travis Riefenstahl knew just who to look for. You guessed it, Mr. Robertson. All this young man did was haul in all three of the Saucon Valley touchdowns, capping his evening with 68 yards on four snags.
Reece Huntzinger, Tri-Valley, sr., LB/RB: With its offense somewhat bottled up, state-ranked Tri-Valley turned to its defense to bring home a 20-7 victory over Mahanoy Area. Huntzinger amassed 16 tackles – 11 assists – as Jeff Sampson’s Bulldogs limited Mahanoy to 144 offensive yards, including just 93 on the ground. Huntzinger also rushed nine times for 49 yards and 1 TD.
Jake Scheib, Tri-Valley, sr., DL/RB: Another key component in Tri-Valley’s stifling defense, Scheib registered 10 tackles up front as the Bulldogs remained unbeaten by muting Mahanoy Area 20-7. Scheib also recorded two of Tri-Valley’s five quarterback sacks. On offense, the powerful senior added 50 yards (on 10 carries) and one touchdown.
