A Season-Best Effort from Chayton Goodwin Leads Goodland over Colby
On Friday, Goodland got the W thanks in part to Chayton Goodwin playing the best football he has all season. 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. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 70-yard run.
On the season, 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.

Linkon Cure Makes It Three for Goodland

This year, Cure has caught 10 touchdowns while averaging 94.7 receiving yards per game.
