DISTRICT 11 NOTES (week 12):   

RUNNINGBACKS: 

Sean Steckert of Southern Lehigh rushed for 228 yards, caught 3 passes for 65 yards and scored 6 td’s in their win over Pottville in week 12. Steckert raised his season totals to 1,606 yard rushing and 32 td’s. His 6 td’s in the game ties the school record. Jeremy Mack scored 6 td’s vs Palisades in 1997 and Luke Strauss scored 6 vs Catasauqua in 2017. District leader Niko Carestia of Schuylkill Haven rushed for 200 yards and 5 td’s in their win over Executive Education. Carestia upped his season totals to 2,637 yards and 38 td’s. No player in District 11 has ever finished the season scoring 38 td’s. It’s the only number of td’s from 1 to 40 not to have a player finish with. Carestia has scored 63 career td’s which ironically is is the lowest number total not to have a District 11 player end their career with. That should continue since Haven isn’t finished playing this year and Carestia is only a junior. ES South’s Charles Capers rushed for 241 yards and 2 td’s in their win over Whitehall. Capers has rushed for 1,823 yards and scored 31 td’s this season. Capers also joined the chart as a reciver as he’s caught 34 passes for 514 yards and 2 td’s. Eli Zimmerman of Northwestern rushed for 216 yards and 3 td’s in their win over North Schuylkill. His 1,840 yards rushing this season is 2nd best behind Carestia. Zimmerman joined the “40 td” club and now has 42 career td’s. Aaron Beete of Freedom rushed for 1,748 yards and scored 21 td’s this season. The yardage breaks the school record by 7 as Darrius Webb rushed for 1,741 yards in 2009. Deante’ Crawford also reached the 1,700 yard mark when he rushed for 1,719 yards in 2012 for the Patriots. Beete also went over 2,000 yards for his career and ended with 2,101 yards. TJ Lawrence of Parkland reached the 1,000 yard mark in week 12 and currently has 1,054 yards rushing this season. Freshamn Fletcher Thompson of Williams Valley continues to impress as he’s rushed for 1,341 yards and scored 19 td’s this season. Those totals are both the 2nd highest ever for a freshman in District 11. Jordan Gray of Nazareth carried the ball 267 times for 1,663 yards and scored 22 td’s as a freshman in 2011. Teammate junior qb Brady Shomper rushed for 168 yards and scored 4 td’s in their win over Pen Argyl. In the same game Pen Argyl’s junior qb Mason Soos went over 1,000 yads rushing for his career (1,008) and joins the chart. Also joining the chart is Allen’s Kemani Wimberly who finished his career rushing for 1,045 yards. Bethlehem’s Catholic Cayden Vassa became the 9th qb to join the rushing list, as the junior has now rushed for a career 1,023 yards thru week 12.

Josh Hontz and Khaaliq Lynch hold the school record as each caught 11 passes in game vs Tamaqua in 2007 and 2012 respectfullly. Louk’s 250 yards ties the school record that Don Evans set when he had 250 yards vs CMVT in 2000. Louk’s 3 td catches falls 1 short of the school record. Art Guth jr. caught 4 td passes vs Summit Hill in 1961. Louk also had a rushing td to give him 4 for the game.

Dan Cason held the record when he had 1,095 yards receiving in 2009. John Murphy also had over 1,000 or ES South when he caught a school record 69 passes for 1,031 yards in 2016. Pusateri joined the “2,000 yard” club in week 12 and has career school records of 116 receptions and 2,011 receiving yards.

His yardage falls just short of the school record 367 yards that Darrius Webb had against Parkland in 2009. Beete’s 5 td’s ties the school record that is held by 3 other players. Dave Walters scored 5 td’s in 1999 vs ES South, Webb had 5 td’s in that Parkland game and also vs CB West in 2009, and Ed Elliot scored 5 td’s vs ES South in 2010.

DISTRICT 11 NOTES (week 1):   

RUNNINGBACKS: 

Luke Miller of North Schuylkill rushed for 198 yards and 4 td’s in their win over Mount Carmel and was the top rusher reported in week 1. Sophomore Rory Dixon of Marian Catholic was a close 2nd with his 191 yards rushing vs Hanover. Gabe Green of Liberty scored 4 td’s in their win over Pennridge which included two 90 yard kick-off returns.

QUARTERBACKS:

Matt Bodnar of Notre Dame threw for 604 yards and 7 td’s in their 71-64 win over Garden Spot. The yardage is a new District record, breaking fellow Crusader Collin Quintano’s old record of 501 yards that he threw vs Jim Thorpe in 2021. Bodnar’s 7 td passes breaks the old school record of 6 td passes that Quintano threw in the same Jim Thorpe game, and Cole DeFranco threw vs Saucon Valley in 2018. The District record for a game is held by Brendan Nosovitch of Central Catholic who threw 8 td passes vs Valley View in 2011. Bodnar threw td passes to 7 different players which is also a District record. Other quarterbacks to throw 7 td’s in a game were Jim Kugler of Saucon Valley vs Pen Argyl in 1968 and Tony Gomez of Pottsville vs Emmaus in 2000. Sophomore Aiden Reilly of Catasauqua in his first varsity start threw for 313 yards and 4 td’s in their win over Mahanoy Area. His yardage falls just short of the school record of 325 yards that Zack Bradley threw vs Palisades in 2013. Dante Carr of Minersville threw for 270 yards and 4 td’s in their win over Halifax. Carr went over 2,500 career passing yards (2,582) and the junior has 32 career td passes. Cole Lazorick of Jim Thorpe threw for 266 yards and 4 td’s in their win over Palmerton. The junior went over 2,000 career passing yards (2,173) and has thrown 21 career td passes. There are 4 other current qb’s that also threw for their 21st career td pass mark in week one. They are Peyton Falzone of Nazareth, Ben Kreitzer of Nativity, Luke Kane of Tamaqua, and Cayden Vassa of Bethlehem Catholic. Kane also went over 2,000 yards passing in his career (2,167). Shane Leh of Northwestern threw his 25th career td pass vs Wilson in week 1. The junior needs 84 yards to go over 2,000 yards passing for his career. There were 5 more qb’s to throw for 200 yards or more in week 1. Chase Walker of Freedom threw for 262 yards, Colton Sams of Southern Lehigh threw for 228 yards, Ivan Laubach of ES South threw for 212 yards, Brady Strause of Blue Mountain threw for 202 yards, and Rocco Delgiudice of PM East threw for an even 200 yards.

RECEIVERS:

Manny Bolmer of Catasauqua caught 5 passes for a school record 269 yards and 4 td’s in week 1. Miguel Hernandez held the old record when he had 240 receiving yards vs Notre Dame in 2017. Bolmer’s 4 td catches tied the school record that Ian Juica set last year, also in week 1. Bolmer added a 5th td on a fumble recovery and is the first Rough Rider to score 5 td’s in a game. Andrew Olesh of Southern Lehigh caught 3 passes for 153 yards and a td in a week 1 win over Quakertown. Olesh went over 1,500 career receiving yards and now has 1,508 yards. Noah Dolbin of Nativity caught 2 passes for 101 yards and 2 scores in week 1 and in the process broke the school’s career td reception record. Dolbin now has 18 career td grabs breaking the old record of 17 that Jeff Yordy set in 2014 (his only year playing varsity football). Dolbin also joins the 2,000 yard receiving club with his school record 2,054 yards. Xzavier Pusateri of ES South caught 8 passes for 152 yards and a td in week 1 vs Abington Heights. Justin Yescavage of Jim Thorpe went over 1,500 yards receiving for his career (1,508) in week 1 and Logan Hutsko of Minersville went over 1,000 career receiving yards (1,036).

Gavin Mentzer of North Schuylkill kicked a 49 yard field goal in their win over Mount Carmel. Carson Long holds the Spartans school record for the longest field goal when he kicked a 54 yarder in 1972 which was also vs Mount Carmel (24-3 loss).

Alex Achenbach of Williams Valley rushed for 189 yards in his last career game and finished his senior season with a school record 3,056 yards. Dylan Rabuck held the old record when he rushed for 2,948 yards in 2017. Achenbach rushed for 7,017 yards in his career which is the 4th highest total all-time in District 11. Achenbach scored 37 td’s this year which is the 2nd highest at Williams Valley behind Rabuck’s 42 in 2017. Achenbach scored 86 career td’s which ties him for 7th place all-time in the District with Eric Rath of Pius X. Rath scored his 86 td’s from 1998-01. I looked up to see where Alex ended up all-time in the District for career rushing attempts and his 946 carries has him in 4th place. The top 3 are Zach Barket of Schuylkill Haven (1,029 – 2005-08), Colin McDermott of Central Catholic (967 – 2010-12), and James Mungro of ES South (962 – 1993-96). Looking at the single season rushing attempts leaders all-time in the District there were 2 players to have over 400 rushing attempts. McDermott holds the District record with a whopping 459 attempts in 2012. Barket is 2nd in the District with 406 attempts he had in 2008. Achenbach is now in 3rd place with 384 attempts. Trey Tremba of Parkland finishes his career rushing for 3,363 yards and scoring a total of 65 touchdowns. He slots into the 4th highest yardage total at Parkland behind Austin Scott (5,802 yards – 2000-02), Matt Thomas (4,283 yards – 1995-97), and Sean Bleiler (3,984 yards – 1997-99). His 65 td’s is the 2nd highest at Parkland behind Scott’s 74 td’s. On the District all-time list for career td’s he cracks the top 25 and is tied for 24th place. Juan Gaddy of Easton (1989-92), and Wyatt Clements (2012-15) also scored 65 td’s in their careers. Tremba caught 97 career passes for 1,242 yards and 13 td’s and is one of five District 11 players to rush for 3,000 career yards and have 1,000 reception yards. As mentioned in week 11, they are Frank Morici of Notre Dame, Shane Simpson of Easton, Austyn Borre of Pleasant Valley, and Nate Boyle of Tamaqua. Matt Machalik of Palmerton ends his senior season rushing for a school record 2,251 yards and a school record 37 td’s scored. His 37 td’s ties him for this season’s District lead with Achenbach.

Dalton Clymer of Northwestern scored 2 td’s in week 13 enabling him to break the school record for career td’s scored. Clymer now has 61 td’s breaking the tie he had with former Tigers Harry Hall and Cade Christopher. Hall scored 59 td’s from 2012-15 and Christopher from 2020-22. That also bumps Clymer up 4 spots on the all-time touchdown District list. He is tied for 35th place with Dan Tavani of Notre Dame (2000-03), Blake Bowman of Tri-Valley (2009-12), and Saquan Barkley of Whitehall (2012-14).

Stevenosky also joined the “4,000 yard” club last week and he finishes his career with school records for rushing yardage (4,071), and td’s scored (57). His career yardage slots him into 40th place all-time in the District and his 57 td’s is the 45th highest all-time in the District, tied with Chuck Dibilio of Nazareth (2008-10), Kevin Gulyas of Central Catholic (2008-10), and Cade Sawyer of Southern Lehigh (2022-23).
