Hey Patrick,
Along the line of unofficial individual records, do you have any information on touchdown passes in a game? We had a kid (Reese Hiibel) throw 6 in Worland in Week 7 which is a Star Valley school record but I was wondering how that stacks up against everybody else. Any insights?
Thanks!
Hi Dahl,
No clue. Sorry…
