Rich Lucero Jr. Delivers Best Performance of Season
On Friday, Hamilton got the W thanks in part to Rich Lucero Jr. playing the best football he has all season. Lucero Jr. threw for 273 yards and four touchdowns while completing 71.9% of his passes.
Lucero Jr. might have his next game, a road matchup with Casteel, circled on his calendar. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Lucero Jr. saw the Colts), he threw for 173 yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 60 yards.

Carter Ochoa Turns in Season-Best Effort
Carter Ochoa produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Chandler to the win on Friday. Ochoa picked up 101 receiving yards and two touchdowns. He showed off some serious burst, connecting on a big catch for 50 yards.
