The performance Northwestern Lehigh senior Eli Zimmerman put together on Friday night would be remembered for a long time no matter when the game was played. But what made the incredible showing of 346 yards and a touchdown on 35 rushes and a game-changing 80-yard interception return for a score by Zimmerman even more impressive was that it happened in a state semifinal. The Tigers clinched a return trip to the PIAA Class 3A championship game with a 31-14 victory over previously undefeated Danville on Friday night at Berwick’s Crispin Field. “Up front, I have to wait a little bit for the holes to be created sometimes,” Zimmerman said of being patient on his rushes. “Even if they’re the littlest things when they’re open, it’s easy for me to burst and go through them. I think that’s been the recipe of success this season. Finding little gaps, getting in between them and getting 8, 9 yards a clip and breaking some eventually.” “Honestly, tonight it was just a little bit one, two. It was a little bit of our line taking over, it was a lot of Eli’s determination and grit. Finding seams, breaking tackles, bursting out it into the open and busting the game open multiple times,” Tigers coach Josh Snyder said. Northwestern, which improved to 15-0 on the season, will play District 7 champion Avonworth in the state championship game at 1 p.m. next Saturday at Cumberland Valley High School. Avonworth (12-3) beat District 6 champion Penn Cambria 16-6 on Friday night in the other semifinal. The Tigers will be hoping for a much different result in the state final next week as they fell to Belle Vernon 38-7 in the 3A championship game last season. Zimmerman broke his own school record for single-game rushing yards (271 yards vs. North Schuylkill on Sept. 27). The senior also established a new single-season rushing mark for Northwestern with 2,557 yards, eclipsing the 2,376 yards by legendary Brett Snyder in 1995. With his 95-yard rushing touchdown and his 80-yard interception return for a score, Zimmerman also tied the program’s single-season touchdown record (Dalton Clymer, 35, 2023). “He’s just a dawg. He’s a straight dawg. He just goes out there with the same mentality each and every game,” Northwestern sophomore linebacker Brady Zimmerman said of his older brother Eli. “He’s obviously our star player. He’s a great leader, too. Just a great guy out there on the field.” The Tigers drove down the field on the game’s opening drive to take a 7-0 lead. After Zimmerman ran for 36 yards on six carries on the first drive, junior quarterback Shane Leh went around the right side of the line and then broke a tackle for a 17-yard touchdown rush with 9:23 remaining in the first quarter. Then, with Northwestern backed up in the shadows of its own end zone, Zimmerman showed off his special running ability. The senior started a run to the right side of the field and was able to work his way all the way across the field to the left pylon on a 95-yard touchdown run with 6:46 remaining in the first quarter. The dazzling sprint made it 14-0 Tigers early in the game. “I want to shout all the boys up front who blocked for me,” Zimmerman said. “Going untouched 95 yards doesn’t happen often. That all goes to the guys who blocked for me. You just have to find the seams. The rest is just running ball.” As Danville marched down the field on the opening drive of the third quarter in an attempt to cut Northwestern’s lead to one possession, Zimmerman stepped in front of a receiver to intercept a pass and ran it back for an 80-yard score to change the momentum of the game and give the Tigers a 24-7 lead with 9:50 remaining in the third quarter. “All week in practice, that was a play we saw on film,” Zimmerman said. “They actually ran it on that one. So, I saw it coming. I kind of waited a bit to see if the quarterback would throw it. I just saw the ball go in the air. Then, all the boys made that wall down the sideline let me go untouched. It was awesome.” Northwestern then made a pair of stops deep in its own territory to preserve the 17-point lead. Danville went for a fake field goal, but the rush by Ironmen senior quarterback Madden Patrick was stopped at the Tigers' 1-yard line by senior linebacker Josh Wambold with 5:39 remaining in the third quarter. Brady Zimmerman recovered a Danville fumble at the Northwestern 3-yard line with 11:25 left in the fourth quarter to keep the score 24-7. “Those are two huge turning points for our defense,” said Snyder, who injured his leg when he was celebrating Zimmerman’s pick-six. “You need big plays to happen. Your team needs to make more plays than the other team. I think that’s what happened tonight, especially those two particular ones on defense.” “Our defense has been the key of our team this year,” Brady Zimmerman said. “Posting a shutout last week (31-14 win over Scranton Prep). Holding them to 14 points this week. It was just a great outing for us.” The Tigers went on a final drive to punch another ticket to the state championship game. Northwestern picked up a first down on a fourth-and-2 when junior Mason Bollinger rushed for five yards at the Tigers' 35-yard line with 8:16 remaining in the fourth quarter. Zimmerman then had a 45-yard run to get Northwestern to the 2-yard line. Senior Seth Kern rushed for a 2-yard score that stretched the Tigers' lead to 31-7 with 4:35 on the clock in the fourth quarter. Bollinger rushed for 27 yards and Leh gained 26 yards on the ground for the Tigers. “It all starts up front,” Bollinger said. “Shane Hulmes at tight end. Jerry (Jeremiah Gornicz), Colton (Popp), Jackson Bailey, Bryer (Reichard), Jared (Meck). They’re big guys and they can make holes for Eli and anyone who is at the quarterback position or running back position. They just open everything up and allow our guys to run through the hole.” Senior wide receiver Cole Duffy caught six passes for 112 yards and a pair of scores for Danville, which finished the season with a 13-1 record. The Tigers are back in the state final for the second consecutive year and are hoping to leave Cumberland Valley with gold on this trip. “It’s not easy to get there the first time,” Snyder said. “Even tougher the second time when you have high expectations. But I’d be lying if I told you that I didn’t sincerely think it was a mission and our destiny to get back there again this year.” “We didn’t talk a lot about getting back there,” the Northwestern coach continued. “But we talked a lot about playing one game at a time. If we do that enough times, the possibility is there. We were injury free again this year. Different guys step up in multiple different games and different spots. You need that to happen. You need to practice hard. You need great leaders, which we have.” Thank you for relying on us to provide the journalism you can trust.

The Brightline train was stopped on the tracks, its front destroyed, about a block away from the Delray Beach fire rescue truck, its ladder ripped off and strewn in the grass several yards away, The Sun-Sentinel newspaper reported. The Delray Beach Fire Rescue said in a social media post that three Delray Beach firefighters were in stable condition at a hospital. Palm Beach County Fire Rescue took 12 people from the train to the hospital with minor injuries. Emmanuel Amaral rushed to the scene on his golf cart after hearing a loud crash and screeching train brakes from where he was having breakfast a couple of blocks away. He saw firefighters climbing out of the window of their damaged truck and pulling injured colleagues away from the tracks. One of their helmets came to rest several hundred feet away from the crash. “The front of that train is completely smashed, and there was even some of the parts to the fire truck stuck in the front of the train, but it split the car right in half. It split the fire truck right in half, and the debris was everywhere,” Mr Amaral said. Brightline officials did not immediately comment on the crash. A spokesperson for the National Transportation Safety Board said it was still gathering information about the crash and had not decided yet whether it will investigate. The NTSB is already investigating two crashes involving Brightline’s high-speed trains that killed three people early this year at the same crossing along the railroad’s route between Miami and Orlando. More than 100 people have died after being hit by trains since Brightline began operations in July 2017 – giving the railroad the worst death rate in the United States. But most of those deaths have been either suicides, pedestrians who tried to run across the tracks ahead of a train or drivers who went around crossing gates instead of waiting for a train to pass. Brightline has not been found to be at fault in those previous deaths.

Walmart's $100 Birkin Bag Lookalike Is Selling Out-Here's Why Everyone Wants OneYou’ve come to the right place for Black Friday weekend deals because Amazon continues to showcase record-low prices from Friday, and there’s less stress involved. One thing is certain: stocks can disappear quickly, so it’s essential to grab the best bargains while you can. If you’re in the market for high-performance storage solutions, look no further than the Samsung T7 Portable SSD and the Samsung T7 Shield. Both models are on sale, offering impressive capabilities that make them stand out in the crowded external storage market. T7 Standard: Speed and Cheap The Samsung T7 Portable 2TB SSD is currently available for $139 on Amazon, down from its original price of $269 (48% off). This 2TB external solid-state drive is designed for users who need fast and reliable storage solutions whether for gaming, work, or personal use. Speeds reach up to 1,050MB/s thanks to its USB 3.2 Gen 2 interface and PCIe NVMe technology and allow for rapid data transfers. See T7 SSD at Amazon One of the key advantages of using an SSD over a traditional external hard drive (HDD) is speed : While HDDs rely on spinning disks to read and write data, SSDs like the T7 have no moving parts and result in quicker access times. Additionally, this model comes with AES 256-bit hardware encryption for added security which makes it a great choice for those who need to keep sensitive data safe. The Samsung T7 is compact and lightweight and weights just 58 grams and roughly the size of a credit card . This Samsung SSD is also compatible with a wide range of devices, including PCs, Macs, Android devices, and gaming consoles. T7 Shield: Rugged Performance for Adventurers On the other hand, the Samsung T7 Shield is also on sale at $149.99, reduced from $284.99 (47% off) even if it’s slightly more expensive than the T7. This model caters specifically to photographers, content creators and gamers who require a rugged storage solution that can withstand harsh environments . The T7 Shield offers similar impressive speeds of up to 1,050MB/s but adds an extra layer of durability with its IP65 rating for water and dust resistance. See T7 Shield at Amazon The design of the T7 Shield features a robust rubber exterior that provides protection against drops and enhances grip during use. It can survive drops from heights of up to 3 meters which makes it ideal for outdoor adventures or on-the-go professionals who need reliable storage that can handle bumps and scrapes. Like the T7, this model uses USB 3.2 Gen 2 technology and PCIe NVMe architecture for fast read and write speeds that facilitate quick file transfers. Both models share many similarities in terms of performance. However, the T7 Shield stands out with its rugged design tailored for users who often find themselves in demanding conditions, which is why it’s currently $10 more expensive. We would recommend going for this one, even if it’s slightly more expensive.
