1. Kyle Lauletta, Downingtown East, Sr., 6-foot-4, 210. The strong-armed Lauletta, a Richmond commit, directed the Cougars to a thrilling, 35-34 win at Coatesville on Friday night, connecting late with Jay Harris for a 10-yard score.
2. Joe Viviano, Conestoga, Sr., 6-4, 220. Through four games, the second-year starter and Harvard recruit has completed 63 of 108 passes for 792 yards and nine touchdowns.

4. Tim DiGiorgio, Frankford, Sr., 6-3, 180. The smooth lefthander, who joined the 3,000-yard club in Friday's 27-6 win over Northeast, is getting looked at by Division I-A and I-AA programs.
5. Brandon Bossard, Methacton, Sr., 6-3, 205. Despite the efforts of Bossard, a four-year starter and Eastern Michigan commit, the Warriors have struggled to find the end zone.

9. Tom Pancoast, Unionville, Sr., 6-4, 195. One has to wonder what Pancoast, mostly a rusher for the Indians, could do playing in a pass-heavy attack.
10. Eddie Durkin, Haverford High, Sr., 6-1, 190. In Friday's 42-6 romp over Radnor, Durkin found Kevin Leyden and Ricky Dempsey for TDs of 15 and 36 yards, respectively.

The Indians' offensive line was made up of center Andrew Jones; guards Luke Metaxas and Paul Steffy; and tackles David Brookes, Ryan Ford, Mark Caputo, and Lenny Johnson.
Trivia time
William Tennent shocked Neshaminy, 20-17, Friday in a Suburban One League National Conference matchup. The difference was Joe Lutz's 18-yard strike to Jimmy Lewicki with 1.6 seconds to play.
It marked the Panthers' first win over the Redskins since 1991. In the 20-8 decision that year, who was Tennent's head coach and starting QB? (Hint: The QB, a converted wideout, went on to play defensive back at the Division I-A level.)
