Caleb Lucas Delivers Best Performance of Season
Danville was led to victory by Caleb Lucas, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Lucas picked up a sack, made 14 total tackles (2.0 for loss), and defended a pass.
Centerburg's probably not too fond of Lucas given he always seems to get the better of them. When Lucas last faced the Trojans back in October of 2023, he picked up a sack, forced a fumble, and made ten total tackles (3.0 for loss).
