Several players and teams approaching some milestone numbers in Week 10.
Take a look …
** Conestoga Valley RB Kevin Kelley needs 200 rushing yards for a 2,000-yard regular season. He’s poised to become the first L-L League back to rush for 2,000 yards in the regular season since Lebanon Catholic’s Tommy Long eclipsed that mark in 1996.
** Solanco RB B.J. Enck, fresh off a 212-yard effort against Garden Spot, needs 174 rushing yards for 1,000.
** Lampeter-Strasburg RB Chad Frey, who romped for 172 yards last Friday against Northern Lebanon, needs 143 rushing yards for 1,000.
** Warwick RB Chris Schaffer, the reigning LancSports.com Player of the Week after galloping for 177 yards last Friday against Hempfield, needs 129 rushing yards for 1,000.
** Manheim Central thumper Joe Gruber needs 125 rushing yards for 1,000.
** McCaskey RB Markeith “Juice” Williams needs 75 rushing yards for 1,000. And what a nice milestone that would be in an otherwise forgettable season for the Red Tornado.
** Lancaster Catholic RB Jordan Stewart, who missed the first two games this season, needs 35 rushing yards for 1,000. That’s a heck of a pace for missing two games.
** Pequea Valley QB Ben Myers, who leads the L-L League in completions, pass attempts and passing yards, needs 59 passing yards for 2,000.
** Reading QB Freddy Pena needs 184 passing yards for 1,000.
** Lampeter-Strasburg QB Nate Shank needs 116 passing yards for 1,000.
** Elizabethtown QB Andy Breault needs 98 passing yards for 1,000.
** Penn Manor QB P.J. Rehm needs 23 passing yards for 1,000.
** Warwick QB Jordan Donmoyer, who missed a game earlier this season, needs 5 passing yards for 1,000.
** Lancaster Catholic QB Kyle Smith needs 16 completions for 100.
** Elco QB Arron Achey needs 10 completions for 100.
** Manheim Central QB Justin Gorman needs 4 completions for 100.
** Cocalico needs 139 rushing yards for 3,000.
** Pequea Valley needs 2 passing yards for 2,000.
Other numbers and knickknacks …
** Just three L-L League teams have allowed less than 1,000 rushing yards and less than 1,000 passing yards through nine games – Manheim Central (871 rush, 719 pass), Lancaster Catholic (815 rush, 817 pass) and L-S (969 rush, 984 pass).
** Two L-L League teams have not reached 1,000 rushing yards and 1,000 passing yards this season – Garden Spot (750 rush, 841 pass) and Donegal (840 rush, 621 pass).
** Six (6) L-L League teams have rushed for 2,000 or more yards – Cocalico (2,861); Conestoga Valley (2,272); L-S (2,199); Solanco (2,188); Manheim Township (2,171) and Elco (2,012).
** Here’s an odd one – Three L-L League teams have a minus-28 scoring margin: Cedar Crest, Elizabethtown and Hempfield have all been outscored by exactly 28 points this season. What are the odds of that?
