Key Player Matchups
QB Jett Thomalla (Eastern) vs. Lebanon Valley Secondary
Thomalla, a highly touted recruit, brings a strong arm and mobility; LVC must contain him outside the pocket.
RB Jordan Reyes (Eastern) vs. Lebanon Valley Front Seven
If active, Reyes’ downhill running could help Eastern control tempo.
QB Sean McGuire (LVC) vs. Eastern Pass Rush
McGuire has been efficient and accurate; Eastern must pressure him to avoid another multi-TD outing.
WR Chris Anderson (LVC) vs. Eastern Corners
If cleared, Anderson is McGuire’s top target; Eastern will likely shade coverage his way.
