A Season-Best Performance from Jackson Lawver Leads Providence Grove over Trinity
Providence Grove was led to victory by Jackson Lawver, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Lawver rushed for 90 yards and two touchdowns on only seven carries, and also threw for 103 yards and a touchdown while completing 75% of his passes, 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 65 yards.
On the year, Lawver has thrown 4 touchdowns while averaging 83.2 passing yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after six games last season, he was only averaging 9.72 passer rating per game. This year he is averaging 63.05 passer rating.
