Jordan Rechel Delivers Best Performance of Season
On Saturday, Fairview got the W thanks in part to Jordan Rechel playing the best football he has all season. Rechel picked up 75 receiving yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 95 yards and a touchdown. The performance marked the most rushing yards he has had since back in October of 2023.incredibly, Rechel got all that yardage with just one huge run
If the past is any indication, Rechel could be in store for another big game when he takes on Fort Collins on Friday. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Rechel saw the Lambkins), he picked up 153 receiving yards and two touchdowns.

Fairview Wins Sixth-Straight Thanks to James Lawson
James Lawson's big game helped extend Fairview's winning streak to six on Saturday. Lawson did his part (and then some), picking up a sack and making five total tackles (1.5 for loss) for the 'W'. He showed off some serious burst, lighting up the secondary with a catch for 58 yards.
