DRAGONS SWEEP JAYHAWK WEEKLY FOOTBALL HONORS

Hutchinson CC Sports Information

The Hutchinson Community College football team had a clean sweep this week as three Blue Dragons were named Jayhawk Conference Football Players of the Week, the league released on Tuesday.

Quarterback Mason Schucker was named the conference's offensive player of the week. Cornerback Art Green was named the Defensive Player of the Week and Sebastian Garcia became the third Blue Dragon this season to capture Special Teams Player of the Week honors.

Schucker, a 6-foot-4, 207-pound freshman quarterback from Searcey, Arkansas, continues to make steady improvement each week. A statement to that fact came Saturday when he threw four touchdown passes in a 61-21 No. 12 Hutch victory over Fort Scott. Schucker completed 11 for 22 passes and touchdowns of 4, 48, 73 and 11 yards, all coming in a first half where Hutch built a 38-7 lead. Schucker is the first Blue Dragon QB since 2014 to have at least four touchdown passes in one game.

Green, a 6-2, 201-pound freshman cornerback from St. Louis, Missouri, became the second Blue Dragon this season with a two-interception game. Green had two picks in the victory over Fort Scott. Green had four total tackles; three were solo stops and one pass broken up. Green's second interception of the game was a highlight-reel one-handed grab right on the sidelines at the Hutch 4-yard line.

Garcia highlighted a busy day against Fort Scott with a school-record 48-yard field goal. A 6-1, 205-pound freshman from Greer, South Carolina, was 6 of 6 on point-after tries and 2 of 2 on field goals from 33 and 48 yards. Garcia also had seen kickoffs and three touchbacks. He averaged 28.1 yards per punt on seven attempts.

Schucker, Green and Garcia are the fourth, fifth and sixth Blue Dragons to earn Jayhawk Conference Football Player of the Week honors.
