Arcata Gets a Boost from Lemke in 41-6 Victory
Arcata picked up their sixth consecutive win on Saturday thanks in part to Luke Lemke. Nobody could stop Lemke as he threw for 163 yards and four touchdowns while completing 76.5% of his passes, and also rushed for 65 yards on only six carries.
Hoopa Valley's probably not too fond of Lemke given he always seems to get the better of them. Lemke rushed for 161 yards and two touchdowns the last time he and the Warriors duked it out back in October of 2023.
