High school football fans across the A-K Valley have a clear focal point for the upcoming weekend games. Trey Coury of Burrell has emerged as the standout performer after a dominant display against Deer Lakes earlier this week.
Coury, a senior running back and safety, rushed for 198 yards on 21 carries in a 53-48 victory. He scored on runs of 21, 27, 15, and 54 yards. The Burrell kicker also contributed five extra points, a margin that proved decisive in the final score. He handled punting duties, made defensive plays, and entered the passing game with a 38-yard touchdown strike to Antonio Perkins. That pass shifted the lead to 33-26 in the third quarter.
The team now looks to close out its Allegheny Seven Conference schedule with a win over rival Freeport on Friday. Coury aims to replicate his all-around effort in that contest.
Other players are also in the spotlight. Landyn Artman, a junior quarterback and defensive back for Kiski Area, completed 19 of 35 passes for 271 yards and four touchdowns in a 46-41 loss to Blackhawk. He added 26 rushing yards and a score, while also intercepting a Blackhawk pass. Kiski Area, currently 2-7 overall and 1-2 in conference play, faces Indiana on Friday. The Cavaliers will play the 3-6 Indians in their Greater Allegheny Conference finale.
At Freeport, senior tight end and linebacker Chace Flynn continues to operate on both sides of the ball. He has caught eight passes for 127 yards and four touchdowns this season. He also has 134 rushing yards on 19 carries. On defense, he ranks third in the team with 75 tackles, along with three sacks and a forced fumble.
Miles Sigal of Riverview is another key figure. The senior tight end and linebacker stands 6-foot-5 and weighs 220 pounds. In a 57-20 win over Springdale, he scored on a 6-yard rushing play during a 30-point first half. He also returned the opening kickoff of the second half 65 yards. Riverview plays Brentwood on Friday to secure a Class A wild-card spot.
