Maverik’s younger brother, Gavan, got Twin Valley off to a great start. Rylan Simerly recovered a fumble by Sincere Littlejohn on the opening possession. The turnover set up the Raiders at the Indians’ 37-yard line. Gavan Foster, a 6’3 sophomore, lofted a perfect pass to Brody Majeski in the right corner of the end zone. Despite excellent coverage by 5’8 junior Jachai Grannison, Majeski reeled in the football for a 31-yard score just three minutes into the game. Maverik Foster has made the transition from quarterback to running back. The switch allows him to play defense this season. “It’s awesome. I liked quarterback but not being able to play both sides of the field, I feel like I can help my team out more,” explained Maverik Foster. He threw for 1,302 yards with 17 TD and 3 INT in 2025 as Twin Valley reached the state final for the first time in program history.

The Raiders went up 14-0 on Susquehanna Township early in the second quarter. Villanova commit Lucas Myers broke off a 27-yard run which was followed by a 25-yard pass to Majeski. Maverik Foster ended the 90-yard drive with a 3-yard touchdown run. The (0-2) Indians flashed their big-play ability late in the first half. Feidt, a 6’2 lefty, showed off his arm strength by firing a long pass from his own end zone down the right sideline. Sweatt III made a leaping grab and raced 65 yards for a 97-yard touchdown. The 6’, 160-pound senior receiver pulled Susquehanna Township within 14-7 with 3:09 remaining before halftime. Twin Valley took over the ensuing series at its 25-yard line. Gavan Foster found his tight end, Jayce Oliver, open for a 69-yard completion. The 6’2, 215-pound senior rumbled all the way to the 6-yard line. Ben Roswick drilled a 25-yard field goal as time expired to give the Raiders a 17-7 edge at the break.

West Virginia commit and Harrisburg transfer Rick Brown intercepted Foster at midfield to begin the second half. Brown, a 220-pound senior linebacker, had more than 100 tackles for the Cougars in each of the past two years. On fourth-and-6 at the 32-yard line, Twin Valley was penalized for roughing the passer. Moments later, Feidt hit Sweatt III down the right seam for an 18-yard touchdown pass. The extra point was missed which made it 17-13 with 6:03 to go in the third quarter. Jasani Brown, a lanky 6’4 senior safety, made an interception over the middle on the next possession. Littlejohn ripped off a 34-yard run to midfield, but the Indians’ drive stalled.

Susquehanna Township reached the Raiders’ 35-yard line with three minutes left. Feidt’s pass on fourth-and-5 fell incomplete. The Indians got the ball back one more time at their 33-yard line with 37 seconds on the clock. Sweatt III made two defenders miss and turned the completion into a 28-yard gain. He caught another ball along the left sideline for a 12-yard pickup to the 33-yard line. That led to the final heave into the end zone by Feidt. Sweatt III had a look of disbelief on his face after the official ruled him out of bounds. He made a tremendous effort to catch the ball as he fell to the ground. The official, who was standing right there, immediately signaled that the pass was incomplete.

Myers, a 220-pound senior, finished with a team-high five tackles. Oliver and Keenan Munn added four tackles apiece. “We’ve been emphasizing all week to get eleven [players] to the ball. We know they’re a fast team,” noted Maverik Foster. He also provided 54 yards and a touchdown on 15 carries. Myers had 50 yards on 17 carries. Twin Valley piled up 461 total yards, including 387 on the ground, in last year’s District 3-4A Championship. On Friday, the Raiders were limited to 129 yards on 39 carries. Gavan Foster was 8-of-15 for 182 yards in his second start. He threw a touchdown and two interceptions. “He’s doing amazing. He’s definitely still working into the role, got some things to learn. He had a great game,” said Maverik Foster. Majeski had a team-high five receptions for 93 yards and a score. Twin Valley has another test coming up on Saturday afternoon when they travel to Wyomissing.
