Chayton Goodwin Turns in Season-Best Performance
Goodland was led to victory by Chayton Goodwin, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Goodwin rushed for 121 yards and a touchdown on only 11 carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He got the majority of those rushing yards when he took off on a run that went for an incredible 70 yards.
On the year, Goodwin has averaged 21 receiving yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had one rushing touchdown. This year he is already up to four.
