A Season-Best Performance from Willie Smith Leads Dreher over Lancaster
Dreher came up short on Friday despite Willie Smith delivering his best game to date. Smith made 14 total tackles (1.0 for loss). He also punched in three rushing touchdowns, which is notable because Dreher is 2-1 when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns, but 1-3 otherwise.
Dreher now has a losing record at 3-4. Smith and Dreher will head out to challenge A.C. Flora at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.
