A Season-Best Effort from Lucas Folau Leads Marshfield over Mazama
Sadly, Lucas Folau posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Marshfield over Mazama on Friday. Folau wasn't messing around, picking up three sacks, forcing two fumbles, and making six total tackles (4.0 for loss). The matchup was his third straight with six or more total tackles dating back to last season.
Folau might have his next game, a home matchup with Ashland, circled on his calendar. When Folau last faced the Grizzlies back in October of 2023, he picked up two sacks, forced a fumble, and made five total tackles.
