SHIPPENVILLE, Pa. – After twice rallying his team from two-touchdown deficits in a battle between two of the top teams in District 9, Clearfield’s Isaac Rumery is the Week 9 D9Sports.com Football Player of the Week.
Rumery, who earns the award for the second time this season, was 15-for-24 passing for 283 yards, three touchdowns and an interception in Clearfield’s 35-28 win over visiting Karns City. The sophomore quarterback helped the Bison overcome deficits of 14-0 and 28-14. His two touchdown passes in the second half – one late in the third quarter and one early in the fourth quarter – erased the 28-14 disadvantage.
Joining Rumery on the District 9 Honor Roll are 15 players including his teammate, Micah Heichel, who caught the two late touchdown passes and DuBois’ receiver Kyle Hopson, who had his third straight 200-yard receiving night while breaking the D9 records for single-season receptions and single-season receiving yards.
This is the final week of the Player of the Week and Honor Roll, as the regular season has now concluded.
The Player of the Week and Honor Roll honors will continue through the conclusion of the regular season.
