4. ATHLETE OF THE WEEK: Edward Kiesendahl, Wallenpaupack football (thetimes-tribune.com) — Wallenpaupack senior running back Edward Kiesendahl is being honored after powering the Buckhorns to a fourth straight win and their first victory over Delaware Valley since 2018. He says an opening loss to Honesdale snapped the team out of overconfidence and pushed them to focus on chemistry, physical play, and a winning culture as they chase a 1,000-yard season for him and a winning record for the program.
