He also joins the 40 TD club with 41 career TD passes.
Teammate Jordan Hardy, caught 4 passes for 170 yards and 3 TDs last week. His 170 yards breaks his own school record of 157 yards he set last week.

Evan Fardella of PM East went over 1,000 yards passing for the season and needs 16 more yards to break Scott Masotti's school career record. Masotti threw for 2,717 yards from 2006-08.
Altarique Mosley-Dew of Stroudsburg rushed for another 266 yards and 2 scores against East Stroudsburg North.
