A Season-Best Effort from Trevon Jones-Lockhart Leads Ellison over Belton
On Thursday, Ellison got the W thanks in part to Trevon Jones-Lockhart playing the best football he has all season. Jones-Lockhart rushed for 56 yards and two touchdowns. He is becoming a predictor of Ellison's success: when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns the team is 2-1 (and 1-2 when he doesn't).
