Caleb Lucas Delivers Best Performance of Season
Caleb Lucas produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Danville to the win on Friday. Lucas picked up a sack, made 14 total tackles (2.0 for loss), and defended a pass.
Centerburg's probably not too fond of Lucas given he always seems to get the better of them. Lucas picked up a sack, forced a fumble, and made ten total tackles (3.0 for loss) the last time he and the Trojans duked it out back in October of 2023.
