Jase Ferguson Goes Supernova in Central Clarion [Clarion/Clarion-Limestone/North Clarion] Win
Jase Ferguson's big game helped extend Central Clarion [Clarion/Clarion-Limestone/North Clarion]'s winning streak to ten on Friday. Ferguson was dynamite, rushing for 210 yards and a touchdown while picking up 12.4 yards per carry, and also throwing for 126 yards and three touchdowns. The dominant performance gave him a new career-high in rushing yards.
Ferguson is probably looking forward to his next game, a home matchup against Karns City on Friday. When Ferguson last faced Karns City back in September, he threw for 302 yards and six touchdowns while picking up 13.7 yards per attempt, and also rushed for 103 yards on only ten carries.

On the year, Thomas has averaged 39.9 receiving yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had five rushing touchdowns. This year he is already up to 13.
