Drew Ray's Rushing Yards a New Career-High
Lewis County (184) came into Friday's contest against Zion Christian Academy (10) with a disadvantage in the MaxPreps Tennessee Rankings, but Drew Ray wasn't bothered. On Friday Ray rushed for 143 yards and two touchdowns on only ten carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He has become a key player for Lewis County: the team is undefeated when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns, but 1-3 otherwise.
The victory (which was Lewis County's third in a row) raised their record to 5-3. Ray and Lewis County will take on Summertown at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
