A Season-Best Performance from Logan Doughty Leads Miller over Fairfield Christian Academy
On Friday, Miller got the W thanks in part to Logan Doughty playing the best football he has all season. Doughty rushed for 158 yards and two touchdowns on only ten carries, and also threw for 52 yards and a touchdown. The effort marked the most rushing yards he has had since back in October of 2023. He showed off some serious burst, cutting through the defense on one rush that went for 67 yards.
If history really does repeat itself, Doughty might just drop another big game when he faces off against Bishop Rosecrans on Friday. When Doughty last faced the Bishops back in October of 2023, he rushed for 225 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 10.7 yards per carry.
