Drew Ray Has Career-Day on Friday
Lewis County (184) came into Friday's matchup against Zion Christian Academy (10) with a disadvantage in the MaxPreps Tennessee Rankings, but Drew Ray wasn't bothered. On Friday Ray rushed for 143 yards and two touchdowns on only ten carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He is becoming a predictor of Lewis County's success: when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns the team is undefeated (and 1-3 when he doesn't).
The victory was the third in a row for Lewis County, bringing their record for this year to 5-3. Ray and Lewis County will take on Summertown at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
