In a 28-14 win, he has 3 passing touchdowns. His best pass of the game was a 76-yard touchdown. It was a great throw by Young as he put the perfect amount of touch on the ball. Young has had a strong year throwing the football for Wilson. His ability to sit in the pocket and pick apart a defense is impressive. Wilson plays top-seeded Central York next week, so it will be a battle, and Young will need to continue his hot season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Playoff Win… one down, more to go! <a href="https://t.co/bQDsdB7tq5">pic.twitter.com/bQDsdB7tq5</a></p>&mdash; [player_tooltip player_id='854388' first='Mason' last='Young'] (@MasonYoung009) <a href="https://twitter.com/MasonYoung009/status/1987179116240543886?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 8, 2025</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1156080"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-690f9fab5a632"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Wow, what a game by [player_tooltip player_id='1156080' first='Daryus' last='Dixon'] against Hempfield.
