Lawrenceburg Wins Sixth-Straight Thanks to D'kari Mucker
D'Kari Mucker's big game helped extend Lawrenceburg's winning streak to six on Friday. Mucker rushed for 68 yards and a touchdown on only five carries. The performance marked the most rushing yards he has had since back in September of 2023. We rated that as his best effort of the season, edging out his previous best set last Friday.
Lawrenceburg's victory was their fifth straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 6-1. Mucker will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant performance when he faces off against Connersville on Friday.
