Weber ends career with 53 TD passes
This football season featured a bevy of playmakers in District 11.
Many of those players eclipsed school records and some even took down district records on their way to memorable season.
The following is a list of those accomplishments compiled by statistician Duke Helm through the first week of the postseason.
RUNNING BACKS
Evan Culver of Saucing Valley went over 2,000 yards rushing for the season during week 11 to up his total to 2,125 yards on the season, which is 10 yards behind Saucon’s record holder Nick Savant. Savant racked up 2,135 yards in 12 games in 2013. Culver is also the career leader at Saucon with 4,128 yards rushing and has scored a total of 63 touchdowns.
Wyatt Clements of Lehighton scored 2 TD’s in his team’s win over Blue Mountain to increase his carrer mark to 64. Clements was held under 100 yards for the first time this year. He needed exactly 100 yards to reach 4,000 yards for his career.
Culver and Clements squared off on Saturday night, as both players also start on defense. The two have combined to rush for 8,028 career yards and score 127 touchdowns.
Harry Hall of Northwestern had 59 career TD’s, moving him into a 32nd place tie all-time in the district with Brendan Nosovitch of Central Catholic. Through 11 games this season, Hall had 4,969 yards rushing for his career, moving him ahead of Nick Frantz of Pine grove and into ninth place all-time.
Kyle Boney of Emmaus rushed for 311 yards and 7 TDs in a win over Williamsport. Boney improved his district-leading total to 2,313 yards rushing. That breaks Andrew Davidson’s one-year old school record of 2,042 yards. Boney’s 7 scores also breaks the school record of six and gives him a district-leading 37 for the year. Both Joe Williams in 2010 and Boney himself (earlier this year) each scored six times in a game. Boney headed into the Eastern Conference final against Reading with 47 career touchdowns, which breaks the school record of 45 previously held by CJ Billera (2006-08).
Nysir Minney-Gratz of Easton reached 1,796 yards rushing this year in his team’s first-round playoff win, moving him into third place at Easton for a single season. Brad Piperata moves down to fourth place with his 1,775 yards that he rushed for in 2003.
Mitch Daniel of Notre Dame went over 1,000 yards rushing for the season and had 1,041 on the year heading into the Class AA district title game against Northwestern..
Robert Heller of Jim Thorpe became the second Olympian to rush for over 3,000 yards in a career. Heller went over 3,000 in the last game of his career and finished with 3,038 yards. Jason Figura holds the school record with 3,403 yards in his career (2001-04). Heller finished with 20 TD’s this year (second-best to Figura’s 24) and 35 for his career (fourth best). His 1,483 yards rushing fell 87 yards short of the school record held by Ryan Saunders.
Antwon Keenan of Bethlehem Catholic finished the season scoring 33 TD’s, which is third best all-time at the school.
Austyn Borre of Pleasant Valley finishes his career, scoring 66 TD’s, while piling up 4,295 rushing yards and 1,052 receiving yards. He moves into a tie for 14th place all-time in the district with his 66 career TD’s. Tosh Riddick (Dieruff), Eddie Scipio (Beth. Catholic) and William Casella of Schuylkill Haven all scored 66 times in their careers.
