There's no place like home for Lafayette Jefferson, who bounced back after a loss on the road last Friday. They took down the Michigan City Wolves 46-29 on Friday. The Bronchos have seen this before: they got the W the last time they saw the Wolves, too.
Lafayette Jefferson got their win on the backs of several key players, but it was Trysten Barrett out in front who threw for 245 yards and three touchdowns. The Bronchos' leading receiver Bryce Vanostran was Barrett's top target yet again, picking up 112 receiving yards and one score.
Special teams also deserves some recognition, posting 14 points in total. The biggest highlight from special teams (and perhaps the team as a whole) came courtesy of Vanostran, who ran a kickoff back for a touchdown.
Another reason for the win was Lafayette Jefferson's imposing defense, which managed to get into the backfield for three sacks. The team can thank three different players for their defensive prowess: Aaden Aytch, Joyce Ndamda, and Paul Walgamuth, who each picked up one sack apiece. Another thorn in Michigan City's side was Aytch, who picked up a sack, forced one fumble, and made 11 total tackles (3.0 for loss).
