Nate Luzadder Delivers Best Effort of Season
Frankton was led to victory by Nate Luzadder, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Luzadder rushed for 279 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 12.1 yards per carry, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
If history really does repeat itself, Luzadder might just drop another big game when he faces off against Elwood on Friday. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Luzadder saw the Panthers), he rushed for 182 yards and five touchdowns while picking up 10.7 yards per carry.
