Ord found a leader in Jordan Williams as the squad took down Centura on Friday. Williams did his part (and then some), rushing for 113 yards and two touchdowns on only five carries, while also throwing for 119 yards and a touchdown on perfect 5-for-5 passing for the 'W'. The bulk of those rushing yards came from one huge play: a run that gained an incredible 73 yards.
For the year, Williams has thrown 11 touchdowns while averaging 112.6 passing yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after seven games last season, he was only averaging two rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 85.29 rushing yards.
Gamescore: 43.28
Axel Escalante Delivers Best Effort of Season
On Friday, Grand Island Central Catholic got the W thanks in part to Axel Escalante playing the best football he has all season. Escalante rushed for 89 yards and a touchdown on only 11 carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, forcing a fumble and making four total tackles (2.0 for loss).
This year, Escalante has run in 3 touchdowns while averaging 29.3 rushing yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he had one rushing touchdown.
