Football: Brandon Summers, Marc Kanetsky Named HBK Players of the Game at ISU

Youngstown – Junior quarterback Brandon Summers and freshman quarterback Marc Kanetsky were named the Hill Barth & King Players of the Game for their performances against Illinois State.

Summers was named the Hill Barth & King Offensive Player of the Game after tying a school record with four touchdowns passes. Summers had scoring throws of six, 28, 32 and 67 yards in the contest. He threw for a career-high 347 yards completing 20-of-34 passes. His 347 yards ranks as the fourth-highest single-game passing performance in school history and is the most since Sept. 10, 1983 (369 by Jamie DeVore against Eastern Kentucky). He is the first Guin to throw four touchdown passes in a game since Tom Zetts at Liberty in 2005. It was his second 300-yard passing game of the season (334 vs. Liberty).

No Hill Barth & King Defensive Player of the Game or Jermaine Hopkins Defensive Lineman of the Game was selected.

Kanetsky was named the Hill Barth & King Special Teams Player of the Game. Kanetsky, a reserve quarterback, did an outstanding job on placements for senior placekicker Brian Palmer throughout the afternoon.

Senior offensive tackle Tyler Booth was selected as the Jim Zdelar Offensive Lineman of the Game. Booth and the rest of the line paved the way for a 544-yard performance by the offense -- the best by the unit since 2005.

Earning scout team honors for their performances during the week are senior fullback Charles Gresham (offense), freshman defensive tackle Warren Felton (defense) and freshman safety David Fleming (special teams).

Summers was the recipient of the Haines Family Player of the Game as chosen by the YSU radio broadcast crew of Robb Schmidt, Dick Hartzell, Trevor Parks and Mike Orto.

Junior wide receiver Donald Jones received the W.O.W./Derek Pixley Hit of the Week against the Redbirds. Jones had an outstanding game catching four passes for a career-best 136 yards.

Senior cornerback Tom Krupko received the Wachovia Leadership Award. Krupko, who played one play in the secondary on Saturday, owns a 3.92 grade-point average as a biology/pre-med major.

The Penguins will close out the home portion of their schedule this Saturday against Indiana State. Kickoff at Stambaugh Stadium is set for 1 p.m. Prior to the game, YSU's 16 seniors will be honored.
