Nate Luzadder Turns in Season-Best Effort
Nate Luzadder produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Frankton to the win 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. Luzadder rushed for 182 yards and five touchdowns while picking up 10.7 yards per carry the last time he and the Panthers duked it out back in September of 2023.

Monday will have a chance to log another big game when he takes on Madison-Grant on Friday. The game will pit Monday up against the Argylls' star RB Cole Stitt. Will the contest be decided in the trenches? We'll have our answer very soon.
