Football season is off to the races, and slowly but surely, our stat leaderboard is starting to populate with names.
Greencastle-Antrim was the big winner on opening weekend, as the Blue Devils not only lead the area in scoring offense (35.0 points per game) and defense (13.0 ppg), but also boast one of the area’s top offensive athletes in Spencer Long, who ranks No. 1 on our list in rushing yards (99) and No. 2 in receiving yards (70). Long’s teammate, Loki Huffman, leads locals with 1.5 sacks.
Chambersburg’s Jashaun Palmer had a big game for the Trojans last weekend, and ranks among our Top 10 yardage performers in receiving (117), passing (94), and rushing (25).
We are still waiting on full stats from Waynesboro and defensive stats from Chambersburg.
In the world of golf, Greencastle’s Cam Eby leads locals with a scoring average of 79, while Smithsburg’s Ben Kirchner is the area’s man to beat with a 41.0 nine-hole average.
Finally, cross country season opened last weekend with the Enos Yeager Invitational at Chambersburg. Our top runners, at least at the 2.33-mile distance, include Chambersburg’s Cole Lehman (13:15) and Natalie Quinn (14:49).
