Dunmore 35, Mid Valley 13

Dunmore got back in the win column and has a chance to get some momentum going into the district playoffs thanks to a light schedule featuring three opponents who all have two wins each. The Bucks rushed for over 250 yards and Ryan Mecca was the leader with 125 yards and four scores.

Dallas 35, Wyoming Valley West 13

Crestwood 42, Hazleton 15

Crestwood pulled off a much needed win for playoff seeding, especially with games against Dallas and Wilkes-Barre Area on the horizon. Jaden Shedlock set the pace with 112 rushing yards and three touchdowns. 

Riverside 58, Holy Cross 6

This marked the third straight game that Riverside scored at least 50 points. Brayden Rose has been one of the best quarterbacks in the district, accounting for six total touchdowns, two through the air and four on the ground. 

Berwick 42, Nanticoke 16

This game was over by halftime when Berwick was already up 42-0. The Bulldogs once again leaned on the ground game and more specifically Ty’Meere Wilkerson, who rushed for 159 yards and two touchdowns to his already impressive season totals.  

Pittston Area 31, Wilkes-Barre 24

The Patriots are in the midst of a truly magical season, and knocked off the preseason division favorites at home. Brody Spindler and Lucas LoPresto accounted for two touchdowns each and the Patriots can clinch the division title outright with a win at home next week. 

West Scranton 28, Western Wayne 7

West Scranton got its first win since week one and much like that game, did it on the road and held their opponent to seven points. Dayron Groves rushed for 119 yards and two scores as the Invaders scored a crucial win in their push to make the playoffs. 

North Pocono 42, Valley View 10

This game was 7-3 North Pocono with two minutes in the first half, then Cole West got a pick six to end the first half and kick return touchdown to open the second half. The Trojans are having a special season and likely secured the No. 1 seed in the 4A playoffs with this win. 

Lackawanna Trail 35, Carbondale 7

Lackawanna Trail took care of business and Isaac Ryon led the way with 223 rushing yards and two touchdowns on only 15 carries. The Lions will be heavy favorites the next two weeks before a Week 10 showdown with Riverside that could decide the LFC Division III champion. 

Abington Heights 17, Scranton Prep 15

Abington Heights won without star quarterback Nick Bradley thanks to a game-winning 30-yard field goal by Jack Hartshorn. Hartshorn beat his former team in a game that the Comets needed to win to stop their two game losing streak.

Wyoming Area 49, Hanover Area 14

The three-headed monster of Nick Ciampi, Jack Gravine and Trustin Johnson combined for over 200 rushing yards and four touchdowns for Wyoming Area. Thanks to their win and teams around them in the playoff picture losing, the Warriors moved to the No. 2 seed in the 3A playoffs.

Wallenpaupack 35, Scranton 7
