Jimmy Strickland passed for 481-yards on 25 of 38 passes and five touchdowns against Hanover Area last year. He broke the District 2 single-game passing record held by Riverside’s Nick Dranchak. The previous mark was 474 yards.
This past weekend against Nanticoke he threw for 481-yards on 28 of 42 passes and five touchdowns.
So far this season the 6-foot-3, 190-pound quarterback has completed 94 of 173 passes for 1,566 yards and 16 touchdowns. “He did a great job finding the open receivers,” said head football coach Pat Reece. “He’s doing a good job of getting everyone involved this year.”
So far this season the Royals have three players over 20 catches, Jason Hoggarth, Pat Villani and Erik Kerr. “There’s no favorite receiver this year. Whoever is open, he will find them.”
In his career he has passed for over 4,500 yards.
The all-time single-game passing record is by Brockway’s Derek Buganza, 594-yards in 2009.

Too bad his team is 1-6, with their one win coming against a team that is 0-7. I bet a lot of kids could put up big numbers if their coaches kept them in against the other team’s 3rd & 4th string players.
