Jackson Steel Sage Turns in Season-Best Performance
Jackson Steel Sage produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Anderson to the win on Friday. Steel Sage rushed for 53 yards and three touchdowns, and also threw for 189 yards and three touchdowns while completing 80% of his passes.
Lincoln Park's probably not too fond of Steel Sage given he always seems to get the better of them. Steel Sage threw for 153 yards and three touchdowns on only 13 passes, and also rushed for 35 yards the last time he and the Railsplitters duked it out back in October of 2023.
