From staff reports
As YAIAA divisional play begins Friday, some names to watch on the gridiron:
Matt Rae, Dallastown: The junior switched from fullback to tailback last week and rushed for 106 yards and two scores. At 6-foot-4, 220 pounds, he will create his own yards.
Doug McClean and Beau Roeder, Kennard-Dale: The two reserve tailbacks have played well spelling Brandon Marousek. They provide a nice change of pace. If Marousek remains hurt, they will pile up yards.
Mike Kinard, William Penn: The junior only has 19 carries this season, but he’s averaging almost 10 yards per attempt. He’s explosive and can break a big play whenever he touches the ball.
Josh Koht, West York: The 6-foot-3 senior has become Rob Estep’s go-to receiver in the Bulldog’s increasingly vertical attack. He has 11 catches, 303 yards and a pair of touchdowns.
Ethan Becker, Red Lion: With Taylor Gunder around, Becker only sees the field one series a game. The junior quarterback makes the most of his time, leading an option offense perfectly.
Nate Murren, Littlestown: If the Thunderbolts do turn it around this season, Murren will be involved. He made a pair of big catches in each of the Bolts’ last two games and also lines up at linebacker. �
