Lucas Folau Puts an End to Marshfield's Losing Streak on Friday
Thanks in part to Lucas Folau, Marshfield said goodbye to their six-game losing streak dating back to last season. Folau was dynamite on Friday, picking up two sacks, forcing a fumble, and making seven total tackles. He is on a roll when it comes to total tackles, as he's now made six or more in the last four games he's played dating back to last season.
Folau must have Ashland's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. When Folau last faced the Grizzlies back in October of 2023, he picked up two sacks, forced a fumble, and made five total tackles.
