McDaniel ran for 1,968 rushing yards and 34 total touchdowns, putting him second in Becahi single-season history totals.

For the Zephyrs, Penn State bound running back Saquon Barkley led the charge, rushing for 1,851 yards and 24 touchdowns to become Whitehall's all-time leading rusher in the process.

Buskirk, a linebacker that has committed to Lehigh, registered a team-high 64 tackles, recovered a fumble and returned an interception for a touchdown.

For Parkland, defensive back Jarey Elder and linebacker Preston Saylor were selected.
