Chayton Goodwin Turns in Season-Best Effort
Chayton Goodwin produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Goodland to the win on Friday. Goodwin rushed for 121 yards and a touchdown on only 11 carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. His longest rush was for an incredible 70 yards.
This year, Goodwin has averaged 21 receiving yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had one rushing touchdown. This year he is already up to four.
