Darrell Parker

Last week: The Trojans (2-2, 0-1 MPC) were downed by Central Dauphin, 35-7 … Carlisle (1-3, 0-1 MPC) took it on the chin from Harrisburg, 60-7.
The opponent: The Thundering Herd beat Mechanicsburg in their first game, but have lost 3 straight, to Gov. Mifflin, York High and the Cougars … Carlisle is averaging a respectable 25.75 points per game, but it is also giving up 39.5 per game … Harrisburg allowed only 4 first downs and the Herd had minus-35 yards on the ground … The top player is wide receiver Carson Swartz … Lucas Smith is a left-handed QB and the top runners are Darian Crim and Jackson Doyle.
Coach's view: Chambersburg coach Mark Luther said, "Their quarterback has a very quick release. He's been able to get out of the pocket and catch teams with that. Carlisle has a very multiple offense — they won't line up and just try to pound you, they'll use a lot of different formations, including some funky ones. They play a 4-3 defense and their safety (Javani Mosley) does a nice job of playing both sides of the line of scrimmage."
Unsung: Last week, Trojan nose guard Darrell Parker (sr., 5-10, 250) played well on defense … Luther said, "He did some good things last week and he's been wearing a club on his one hand. He got that off this week, so maybe he can improve his play even more." … Safety Jason Chambers was also cited for playing well by Luther.
Stats: Passing — Riley Harmon 55-93 (59%), 761 yards, 7 TDs, 3 int. … Rushing — Antonio Harrison 32-119, 2 TDs … Receiving — Jermere Jones 14-251, 2 TDs; Jake Folmar 12-137, 1 TD; Rhaigeon Parker 12-115, 1 TD; Trever Luther 11-164.
