Levi Springer Makes It Two for Elyria
Keeping Stephens company is Levi Springer, a fellow Elyria player. He picked up 67 receiving yards and a touchdown. He got the majority of those receiving yards when he pulled down a pass and took off for a gain of 56 yards.
On the year, Springer has averaged 5.6 total tackles per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 0.88 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 3.13 rushing yards.
