Jordan Lucas Turns in Season-Best Effort
On Friday, Centennial got the W thanks in part to Jordan Lucas playing the best football he has all season. Lucas rushed for 61 yards and a touchdown, and also picked up 54 receiving yards and a touchdown, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He was no stranger to the big play, turning on the jets for a run that went for 59 yards.
For the season, Lucas has caught 3 touchdowns while averaging 62.7 receiving yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 34 receiving yards per game.
