BRADFORD OFFENSIVE LINE GETS SPECIAL MENTION
SHIPPENVILLE – Bradford’s Brent Raabe is the fourth D9Sports.Com District 9 Football Player of the Week for the 2003 season after having a huge game both defense and offense for the Owls in a 31-28 win over Warren Sept. 20.

In addition to Raabe, the entire Bradford offensive line is being given special mention this week for helping the Owls to the big win.

Those 29 teams include four teams who are non-District 9 teams (Sheffield, Eisenhower, Youngsville and West Shamokin) but play more than 75 percent of their games against District 9 opponents and compete for District 9 league titles. The awards, which are given from Week One through Week Nine, are the only weekly awards given out in the District that represent the district as a whole.
