SHIPPENVILLE — New season, same old record-breaking Jack Krug for Brookville.
The Raiders sophomore quarter set school records for passing yards (555) and passing touchdowns (eight) in a game – the eight TD throws broke a 50-year old record – while going 30 of 50 passing and then added 138 yards rushing and a touchdown to boot to lead Brookville to a 69-60 season-opening win over visiting Bradford.
That is the reason Krug is the Week Zero 2018 D9Sports.com District 9 Football Player of the Week.
Krug had plenty of help in achieving his award, and Cabe Park was a big reason setting school records in catches (15), yards (290) and receiving touchdowns (5). Park is one of 15 players also being honored as District 9 Honor Roll
members for Week Zero.
The Player of the Week and Honor Roll honors will continue through the conclusion of the regular season.
