Devon Hildebrand (WR/DB)

Bryer Reichard (OL/DL
Northwestern Lehigh has had a special season. They are 14-0 on the season for a reason and have been one of the most dominant programs this season. They have spent most of the season destroying the competition in blow-out victories. They will have a tough task to defeat a talented team in Wyomissing. They are led by Dalton Clymer Dalton Clymer 6'0" | 190 lbs | ATH Northwestern Lehigh | 2024 State PA an 1,700 yard rusher on the year. Shane Leh Shane Leh 6'2" | 175 lbs | QB Northwestern Lehigh | 2026 State PA is there sophomore quarterback, who has had a strong year. He is very good in the pocket as he has thrown for over 1,700 yards and 22 touchdowns. Eli Zimmerman is a good 2 way player at defensive back and a playmaker on offense. Devon Hildebrand is there leading receiver who makes difficult catches in traffic. Northerwestern Lehigh runs a spread attack, which is a different scheme then Wyomissing’s Wing-T, so a game of contrasting styles should be fun to watch. In order to win this game Northwestern Lehigh will have to play there best game of the season. This game should be a battle.
Belle Vernon vs. Hickory
Key matchup: Which defensive will make more plays in the game to stop the other team?
Belle Vernon Top Prospects:
Quinton Martin Quinton Martin 6'3" | 200 lbs | ATH Belle Vernon Area | 2024 State PA (Athlete)
Jake Gedekoh Jake Gedekoh 6'0" | LB Belle Vernon | 2024 State PA (RB/LB
Kole Doppelheur (RB/DB)
Brandon Laux (QB)
Anthony Crews Anthony Crews 5'10" | 170 lbs | ATH Belle Vernon Area | 2025 State PA (WR/DB)
Belle Vernon has Quinton Martin Quinton Martin 6'3" | 200 lbs | ATH Belle Vernon Area | 2024 State PA the Penn State commit who they move all over the field to get the ball on offense, but also have good running backs in Jake Gedekoh Jake Gedekoh 6'0" | LB Belle Vernon | 2024 State PA and Kole Doppelheur. They are also led by Brandon Laux at quaterback who has had a good year throwing the ball. The 3-headed rushing attack of Gedekoh, Doppelheur and Martin have rushed for over 2,000 yards. The key is they need to be able to get stops on defense and get the ball back for there explosive rushing attack. Martin is a special kid and expect them to try to get him loose in this game as well.
Hictory Top Prospects:
Zander Telesz Zander Telesz 6'3" | 165 lbs | ATH Hickory | 2025 State PA (QB)
Sean Kennedy Sean Kennedy 5'9" | 200 lbs | RB Hickory | 2024 State PA (RB/LB)
Kevin Morrison (RB/DB)
Tylon Cousin (WR/DB)
Tim Krivosh (WR/DB)
Jadon Phillips (DB)
Hictory last week had a huge win when they defeated Central. In that game they created 3 turnovers and rushed for over 300 yards for the game. Jadon Phillips was the defensive back who created the 3 turnovers by intercepting 3 passes. Zander Telesz Zander Telesz 6'3" | 165 lbs | ATH Hickory | 2025 State PA has had a strong season at quaterback for Hictory. Hictory will have to have another strong effort on defense to slow down Belle Vernon and then score when they get opportunities. Hictory has been a resilitant team all year, so I expect them to play there best game all season.
