It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but Legacy Christian Academy had no problem doing just that on Friday. They simply couldn't be stopped as they easily beat the St. Michael's Warriors 52-9. Considering the Eagles have won six contests by more than 22 points this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.

Leading Legacy Christian Academy to victory were Luke Lawrence and Jaxson Ladd. Lawrence threw for 228 yards and three TDs, while Ladd rushed for 128 yards and one score on only 14 carries. That's the most passing yards Lawrence has posted since back in November of 2024.

They were just one part of a punishing run game: Legacy Christian Academy was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 251 rushing yards. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now rushed for at least 186 rushing yards in four consecutive matchups.

Another reason for the win was Legacy Christian Academy's imposing defense, which managed to get into the backfield for 3.5 sacks. The team can thank two different players for their defensive prowess: Sam Jones and H Rasor, who each picked up one sack apiece.

Legacy Christian Academy is on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four games. That's provided a nice bump to their 7-4 record this season. The victories came thanks in part to their defensive effort, having only surrendered 13.3 points on average over those games. As for St. Michael's, they now have a losing record of 5-6.

Coming up, Legacy Christian Academy will head out on the road to challenge St. Thomas Catholic at 6:00 p.m. on Friday. St. Thomas Catholic's defense has only allowed 14.4 points per game this season, so Legacy Christian Academy's offense will have their work cut out for them. St. Michael's does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
