Lane Sceals Delivers Best Performance of Season
Lane Sceals produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Deerfield-Windsor to the win on Friday. Sceals threw for 421 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 12.0 yards per attempt.
Sceals' next match is against Maclay on Friday, where he'll look to repeat that solid performance. The Knights got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Marauders, probably because Sceals had a solid game then too: he threw for 151 yards and three touchdowns. Can he match (or beat) that performance?
