Adam Schmid Turns in Season-Best Effort
Sadly, Adam Schmid posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Centennial over Reedy on Thursday. Schmid threw for 253 yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 95 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, taking off on a dash that went for 50 yards.
Schmid will have a chance to log another big game when he takes on McKinney North on Thursday. Schmid will face off against Hunter Kolosey on Thursday, the Bulldogs' star QB. With so much talent on the field, fans are surely in for an exciting game. The only thing left to see is who brings home the W.
