Pete Scaffidi, Football
Football player Pete Scaffidi was named Forester Athlete of the Week on Thursday after passing for a career-high 345 yards and three touchdowns the previous Saturday.
Scaffidi, a junior, became the first quarterback in program history to surpass 300 passing yards in three consecutive contests. He completed 26 of 44 passes in the 45-34 loss to Carroll University and his yardage total on the day is the fifth-highest mark in team history. He also scored his second rushing touchdown of the season.
Scaffidi has completed 111 of 165 (67.3%) passes for 1,255 yards, 13 touchdowns, and just four interceptions in four games this year. He is on pace to shatter the team records for completions (187), passing yards (2,436), and touchdown passes (20) in a season.
Forester Athletes of the Week are selected by the Athletic Department on Thursdays.
