GAME OF THE WEEK: Perkiomen Valley 29, Pottstown 21 - The Vikings fell behind early and it look like a Trojan romp on Friday. But something clicked and the second half belonged to the orange and brown. The Vikings used three field goals, a kick return, a rushing score from Steve Giampa and Rasaad Stewart to score 29 unanswered points.

PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Academy of the New Church 27, Lower Moreland 13  - Travis McCurdy (ANC) - With the Lions making the walk up to ANC's campus it was senior standout McCurdy who got loose for all for the scoring plays. McCurdy opened the scoring with a four yard run, helped his team pull away with an 88 yard kick return and sealed the win with touchdown catches of 34 and 37 yards. McCurdy finished with 124 receiving yards and 39 on the ground.

RUNNING IN THE RAIN: With the fields around Montgomery County taking a beating on Friday night, Mother Nature had a hand in the offensive play calling around the area. The constant rainfall made the ball slick and passing numbers took a hit because of it this week. There were a lot of big rushing numbers for this reason. There were also a lot of big rushing totals because some teams need to work on tackling, but let's blame it on the rain this week.

Pennridge 28, Lansdale Catholic 7 - Poppy Yoder Field was Poppy Yoder Mud-pool on Friday and it did not sophomore Mike Class from picking up 222 yards on the ground in the Rams first win on the year.

Spring-Ford 52, Upper Perk 7 - The Rams have been throwing a lot this season, but with the rain coming down only eight passing calls were dialed up. Also, having a giant lead was a reason for that. The giant lead was thanks to sophomore running back Jarred Jones and his 193 yards and three touchdowns.
