Kellen Creviston Crosses Big Stat Threshold
Routt Catholic/Lutheran was sadly handed a defeat on Saturday, but Kellen Creviston did his best to prevent it. Creviston was excellent, throwing for 359 yards and two touchdowns, while also punching in a touchdown on the ground. The performance once again pushed his average passing yardage north of 300 yards per game (305.7).
If history really does repeat itself, Creviston might just drop another big game when he faces off against Brown County on Saturday. Creviston threw for 317 yards and three touchdowns while completing 75% of his passes, and also rushed for 49 yards and two touchdowns the last time he and Brown County duked it out back in October of 2023.
