Highland Quarterback Earns KJCCC Offensive Player of Week

It was the biggest win in quite some time for the Highland Scotties football program as they took down the fourth ranked Butler Grizzles this past weekend on the road in a 23-21 win with late heroics to earn the win.

Freshman quarterback, Brandon Bergeron helped the Scotties to upset as the Scotties saw their 17-0 lead dissipate and Butler took a 21-17 lead late in game, but the Scotties recovered a Butler fumble and that set up Bergeron and company to go for a game winning drive and that they did.

Bergeron moved the Scotties down the field and tossed a five-yard pass to Desmond McGee with eight seconds left to give Highland the lead and ultimately the 23-21 win. Bergeron finished the contest 44-57 for 294 yards and that game winning touchdown pass, earning him Kansas Jayhawk Community College Conference "Offensive Player of the Week" honors. Brandon's 44 completions set a single game record for the Scotties.

Highland moved to 3-2 on the season with that win and next heads out on the road to take on Hutchinson this next weekend.
