Elliott Larner Goes Supernova in Dewitt Victory
Elliott Larner was instrumental in extending DeWitt's winning streak to eight on Friday. Larner did his part (and then some), throwing for 215 yards and three touchdowns on perfect 10-for-10 passing, while also rushing for 64 yards and a touchdown for the 'W'. The bulk of those rushing yards came from one huge play: a run that gained an incredible 60 yards.
DeWitt's victory was their sixth straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 8-0. Larner and DeWitt will take on Everett at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Abram Larner Crosses Big Stat Threshold
DeWitt picked up their eighth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Abram Larner. Larner showed up in a big way, picking up 146 receiving yards and two touchdowns, while also rushing for 36 yards and a touchdown. The performance once again pushed his average receiving yardage north of 100 yards per game (103). He showed off some serious burst, cutting upfield on a catch for 63 yards.
For the year, Larner has caught 16 touchdowns while averaging 103 receiving yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after eight games last season, he was only averaging 11 receiving yards per game.
