A Season-Best Performance from Dante Carr Leads Minersville over Nativity BVM
Minersville was led to victory by Dante Carr, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Carr rushed for 207 yards and five touchdowns on only 15 carries, and also threw for 177 yards and two touchdowns, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 71-yard run.
Carr and Minersville will head out on the road to take on Tri-Valley at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The last time Carr took on the Bulldogs, he rushed for 44 yards and two touchdowns, and also threw for 165 yards and a touchdown on only 15 passes. Can he match (or beat) that performance?
