Plum was looking for a spark to its season as it was 0-3 heading into its Northeast Conference opener against Shaler last Friday. Odom helped provide that lift. He carried the ball 21 times for 123 yards and two touchdowns in a 24-7 victory. Odom has 291 rushing yards on 69 attempts, an average of 4.2 yards.

Cherry complemented quarterback Menage Lucas in the OT win over Elizabeth Forward in Week 1 with 126 yards and three touchdowns on 19 carries. Last Friday against East Allegheny, Cherry collected 144 yards and a score on 12 attempts and hauled in a 27-yard TD pass from Lucas in the 64-36 victory over the Wildcats.

The co-captain has developed into a leader on and off the field, coach Chad Walsh said. Gebauer carried the ball 15 times for 75 yards and a touchdown in the loss to Brentwood last Friday and added a team-best 15 tackles. Gebauer hopes to be a factor this week as the Dynamos take on rival Riverview.

It wasn't the result he or his teammates hoped for at Leechburg last Friday, but Stotts did what he could for his team in a 43-14 setback. Stotts completed 14 of 17 passes for 181 yards and a touchdown of 29 yards. Stotts also provided points for his team by returning a kickoff 78 yards to the end zone.
