Seth Cohen
Highlands, jr., QB
Highlands nearly pulled off an upset of Montour last week, and the Golden Rams QB was a big part of that attempt. Cohen (6-1, 190) threw for 265 yards and two first-half TDs. He hopes to be a factor Saturday at Blackhawk.
Darius Johnson
Valley, sr., WR/DB
With several of his Valley teammates out of the lineup against Shady Side Academy, Johnson (5-11, 150) did his best to help his squad. He was targeted numerous times by quarterback Alex Ward and caught five passes for 88 yards and a touchdown.
Patrick Keeley
Freeport, jr, QB/WR/OLB
The junior is third on the team with 40 tackles, including five for a loss, and two sacks. Keeley (5-11, 170) will be a key component of a unit tasked this Friday with stopping Seton LaSalle RB Lionel Deanes.
Chase Villani
Fox Chapel, sr., RB/MLB
A core member of an improving defense, Villani (6-3, 205) leads the team in tackles with 56, including seven for a loss. He was one of three players with nine tackles in Friday’s 41-23 victory over Hampton that lifted the team to 3-3 in Allegheny Nine play.
