A Season-Best Effort from Austin Cruz Leads Greensburg over Batesville
Sadly, Austin Cruz posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Greensburg over Batesville on Friday. Cruz rushed for 201 yards and a touchdown while picking up 9.6 yards per carry, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 70-yard run.
Greensburg is on a 17-game losing streak (dating back to last season) that has dropped them down to 0-7. They and East Central are set to duel on Friday.
