Keth, a sophomore making his second career start after starting the season fourth on the Raiders depth chart, was 28 of 40 for 446 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions in the Raiders come-from-behind-after-being-ahead 35-28 win over visiting Karns City. After blowing a 20-7 lead, Keth helped Brookville overcome a 28-20 deficit by leading two scoring drives in the final 7:04 including throwing the game-winning touchdown pass to Ian Thrush with 3:59 to play.
Mills, meanwhile, showed a dual-threat ability in Clarion’s 42-0 win over St. Marys having a hand in all 42 of the Bobcats points.
He scored a pair of touchdowns on the ground rushing four times for 72 yards and also threw four scores going 11 of 12 passing for 188 yards. To boot (pun intended) he kicked all six extra points for Clarion in the victory.
Joining Keth and Mills in being honored this week are 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.
