Golden Knights quarterback Austin Billet went out last week and threw for 272 yards and three touchdowns in a heartbreaking 35-33 loss to York Suburban. The team fell to 0-4. But when Billet’s name showed up on PennLive’s list of the state’s top performers, the fan base mobilized.
“Our community got invested,” he told PennLive. “The link got sent out to all the schools in the district, and I think kids would vote in the morning and afternoon. It turned into a big, community-wide effort.”
Did it ever.
Fans cast 37,940 votes this week, and Billet earned 12,009 of them to take the top spot in the fan voting for Pa. high school football player of the week. East Pennsboro running back Sy Burgos finished second with 10,158 votes followed by Billet’s teammate, receiver Bryce Currier (3,668), Freedom quarterback Carter Slowinski (2,960), Perkiomen Valley quarterback Ethan Kohler (2,368), Dallastown quarterback Dylan Lease (1,825) and Steel-High running back Daivin Pryor (1,576).
“It was just exciting to see how many people care,” Billet said. “Me and Bryce were talking today, and we are just truly grateful that everyone is behind us like they are.”
