Penn-Trafford plays a talented Moon team, and they will need Yurt at his best if they are going to win. If they win that they will probably play Pine-Richland, and Yurt will need to be at his best in that game as well.

He passed for an outstanding 24 touchdowns vs. 1 interception. His ability to throw the ball on time with almost perfect accuracy is outstanding. An example is in Avonworth's play-action passing game, where he has impeccable footwork and ball movement to make the fake and throw a perfect strike. Avonworth plays Freeport this week, and I expect Bellinger to continue his excellent play. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Regular season highlights<br>Avonworth Football 10-0<br>4.5 GPA 1350 SAT <br>24tds-1int<br>1723yds on 70% completion <a href="https://twitter.com/wpialsportsnews?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@wpialsportsnews</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/WPIAL_Insider?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@WPIAL_Insider</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/PRZVicCastillo?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@PRZVicCastillo</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/PA_TodaySports?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@PA_TodaySports</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/WPIAL_Blitz?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@WPIAL_Blitz</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/AvonworthFB?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@AvonworthFB</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/drossman?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@drossman</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/kubdog5?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@kubdog5</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/EdOBrienCFB?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@EdOBrienCFB</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/PRZVicCastillo?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@PRZVicCastillo</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/JoeButlerOnLine?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@JoeButlerOnLine</a>…</p>&mdash; [player_tooltip player_id='647668' first='Carson' last='Bellinger'] (@CarsonBellinger) <a href="https://twitter.com/CarsonBellinger/status/1982469442496807103?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 26, 2025</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1182141"],"_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-690ab8228b55f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1182141' first='Matthew' last='Brodzinski'] has had a strong season for Seton-Lasalle as their leading receiver.

He is also a good athlete who makes defenders miss in space or can run by them. Brodzinski and Seton-Lasalle are the number 1 seed in the WPIAL 2A Playoffs, but they need Brodzinski to continue to excel to try to win a WPIAL Championship.
