Even based on partial stats to start the boys soccer campaign, we knew that Michael Phelan was having a special season.
But now that the Fairfield Knights have uploaded their full stats to the internet, it’s become apparent that Phelan is so much more than the most prolific player in the LocalNews1.org coverage area. He’s one of the best in the nation.
With Phelan rolling up stats that are so wild they almost sound made up — 43 goals and seven assists through 10 games — every Fairfield game has become a must-watch. Not only does he lead Pennsylvania in goals by a wide margin, he also ranks No. 3 in the country. Only New York’s Colten Leonard (54) and Ohio’s Kolsen Keeper (44) have netted more goals than the Knights star.
Another Phelan from Fairfield, Gemma, is having a sharp season for the girls soccer team. With seven of nine games reported, she leads locals with 12 goals.
Some of the area’s top cross country runners tested their skills at the renowned Carlisle Invitational and returned home with shiny PRs. North Hagerstown twins Mackenzie Philp (18:02.6) and Caroline Philp (18:04.2) have taken firm control of our leaderboards, while Chambersburg’s Natalie Quinn (18:15.5) has also continued her late-season level up. On the boys side, Smithsburg’s Dylan Herbst (15:58.1) and Grayson Wynkoop (16:25.0) check in at 1-2 on our list following brilliant races at Carlisle.
Four volleyball players from Greencastle-Antrim lead locals in their respective stat categories: Jordyn Wagner (108 kills), Chloe Young (26 blocks), Ryane Kueppers (24 aces), and Kira Johnson (251 assists).
Finally, on the football field, Smithsburg’s 4-0 start is certainly reflected in the numbers, as the Leopards lead our area in both scoring offense (27.25 points per game) and defense (15.25). Michael Stewart, from North Hagerstown, tops our local charts in both rushing yards (415) and TDs (5), while a big performance last weekend from Chambersburg backup QB Justin Deneen (23 of 36, 295 yards, 3 TDs) elevates him on our list, right behind the injured player he has replaced.
Our fall sports leaderboard is based on stats for the seven teams in the LocalNews1.org coverage area — Waynesboro, Greencastle-Antrim, Chambersburg, Fairfield, North Hagerstown, South Hagerstown, and Smithsburg — that have been reported to maxpreps.com, athletic.net, penntrackxc.com, and directly to LN1.
