SHIPPENVILLE, Pa. – Ian Thrush did it all for Brookville in the Raiders 42-41 double-overtime win at Karns City Friday, and that is why the senior is the D9Sports.com District 9 Football Player of the Week for Week Four of the 2019 season.

Offensively, Karns City had no answer for the speedy wide receiver who had 12 catches for 294 yards and five touchdowns. If that wasn’t enough, he made the game-saving tackle in the second overtime stopping the Karns City receiver inches shy of the goal line to preserve Brookville’s first regular-season win in Karns City since 1972.
The quarterback throwing the ball to Thrush, Robert Keth, is one of 15 players on the District 9 Honor Roll for Week Four.
The Player of the Week and Honor Roll honors will continue through the conclusion of the regular season.
