Courier-Express/Tri-County Sunday BROCKWAY — Brockway quarterback Derek Buganza threw
down another District 9 passing record owned by Clearfield’s Chad Kroell
and tied him on another record as he threw eight touchdown passes in the
Rovers’ 56-36 shootout win over visiting Smethport. Buganza completed 16 of 23 passes for 391 yards and
was intercepted twice. He threw scoring strikes to three different
receivers, including four to Mike Vervoort on connections of 27, 22, 65
and 23 yards; three to Kyle Braun on passes of 55, 72 and 27 yards; and
one to Jake Shaffer on a 25-yard pass. Buganza’s eight TDs bested Kroell’s single-game
district record of seven TD passes thrown in the Bisons’ 54-6 win over
Philipsburg-Osceola in 1994. Buganza hiked his career TD pass total to 79,
which ties Kroell’s mark. With his 3911 yards passing, Buganza is now at 7,695
career yards moving him into fifth place on the state’s all-time yardage
list just 60 yards behind D.J. Lenehan of Wilson Area for fourth. He is
also 305 yards shy of becoming just the fourth passer in state history to
throw for 8,000 career yards. The others are Wilson Area’s Tyler Smith
(8,000), Downingtown East’s Pat Devlin (8,162) and Lancaster Catholic’s
Kyle Smith (8,545). Vervoort caught six passes for 158 yards and Braun
made four catches for 161 yards, The Rovers (3-0 overall, 3-0 AML South) led 42-21 at
halftime thanks to six Buganza TD passes. Smethport (1-2, 1-2 AML North)
scored first in the third quarter on Brian Zetwick’s 10-yard run with 6:49
left in the quarter, but Buganza and the Rovers responded with two more
aerial strikes on his 23-yarder to Vervoort and the 27-yarder to Bruan
with 4:07 remaining. Kevin Lord rushed for three touchdowns for the
Hubbers on gains of 14, 3 and 73 yards, all of them in the second quarter,
and finished with 167 yards on 18 carries. The Rovers piled up another big yardage game, 570
yards in all. Chris Marshall rushed for 85 yards on 11 carries. BROCKWAY 56,
