16 additional players on Honor Roll
SHIPPENVILLE – Clarion’s Brad Rapp and Clearfield’s Andrew Janocko are the D9Sports.com District 9 Football Co-Players of the Week for Week Three of the 2006 season.

Both players had monster games while helping their respective teams to key Week Two victories.

Rapp did his damage on the ground running 25 times for a career-high 219 yards and two touchdowns while also catching one pass for 11 yards in Clarion’s 15-6 win at St. Marys Friday night.

Janocko’s damage came with both his arm and his legs. He was 20 of 28 passing for 276 yards while also running for three touchdowns despite finishing with negative 15 yards rushing because of sacks. He was at his best when it counted the most leading Clearfield on a game-winning drive late in the contest that saw him go 7-for-9 for 65 yards on the drive. The Bisons beat Indian Valley 38-35.

Rapp and Janocko weren’t the only players who were in consideration for Player of the Week.

Curwensville’s Nick Sipes (247 yards rushing, 2 TD’s; moved into 3rd place all-time in D9 in rushing), Johnsonburg’s Calvin Grumley (178 yards passing, 2 TDs; 71 yards rushing, 3 TDs) and Redbank Valley’s Jake Smith (121 yards passing, 2 TDs; 99 yards rushing, 2 TDs) also had outstanding weeks.
