Schulenburg senior football player Kenny Schramek is a multisport athlete who has provided a large body of work in all sports throughout his tenure for the Shorthorns. As Schulenburg nearly upset the number three ranked team in the state in Burton, Schramek tallied five receptions for 161 yards and three touchdowns. “He’s doing really well. He’s helping the team. He’s getting after it,” said Schulenburg head football coach Walt Brock. “I think he’s had a touchdown every game. Just really getting after it, catching the ball well. I think he had nine tackles on defense this past week. Can’t say enough about it. He wants everybody to get better and he’s striving for that. He’s really listening, buying in, and doing what he’s asked to do. We’re really proud of him.” Schramek’s hot start to the season has given him the nod for this edition’s Athlete of the Week.
