A Season-Best Effort from Jaden Lawrence Leads Legend over Douglas County

Douglas County had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Lawrence it was a similar story. Lawrence rushed for 233 yards and two touchdowns, and also picked up 37 receiving yards the last time he and the Huskies duked it out back in October of 2023.
