<p>Baron Schnelle (Williamsville South) | vs Williamsville East | A new name to me but listed at 6'7 260 lbs. and a fierce RT for the Billies, Schnelle could find himself on the finalist list by years end. </p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1738254' first='Mason' last='McGloin'] (Depew) | vs Dunkirk | A preseason favorite to win the Trench Trophy this season, McGloin started the season off with a bang. He is a dominating two way lineman who also recorded an INT this past weekend.</p>

<p>Trent Houser (Chautauqua Lake) | vs Tonawanda | I first started reporting on Houser his sophomore season. Even though he had a quiet junior year, he begin 2025 with 6 tackles on defense and guiding the Eagles rushing game to 200 yards on the ground and 5 TDs.</p>
