Pete Scaffidi, Football
Football player Pete Scaffidi was named Forester Athlete of the Week for the second time this month on Thursday after posting the second-highest single-game passing yardage total in team history in a 56-38 victory at Lawrence University on Saturday.
Scaffidi, a junior, completed 17 of 29 passes for 367 yards. He tied the team record he set earlier this season with five touchdown passes and he has now tossed a school record 25 scoring strikes on the season. Scaffidi also ran for a score and was not sacked in the contest.
It was his fifth game this season with at least 300 passing yards and he now owns four of the top 10 single-game totals in program history. He needs just eight completions and 217 passing yards to reach the single-season team records in those categories as well. In addition, his completion percentage and passing efficiency rating are currently better than the highest marks by any past Forester quarterbacks.
Forester Athletes of the Week are selected by the Athletic Department on Thursdays. Scaffidi was also named Midwest Conference Offensive Performer of the Week on Monday.
