A Season-Best Effort from Jaden Lawrence Leads Legend over Chaparral
On Friday, Legend got the W thanks in part to Jaden Lawrence playing the best football he has all season. Lawrence picked up 72 receiving yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 76 yards and a touchdown.
If history really does repeat itself, Lawrence might just drop another big game when he faces off against Fountain-Fort Carson on Thursday. Lawrence rushed for 131 yards and three touchdowns the last time he and the Trojans duked it out back in October of 2023.
