Winning always takes teamwork, but on Friday Finn Luca stepped things up a notch to give Yorktown the 'W'. Luca was dynamite, picking up 173 receiving yards and a touchdown, while also rushing for 93 yards and a touchdown on only five carries. He got the majority of those rushing yards when he took off on a run that went for an incredible 50 yards.
Yorktown pushed their record up to 4-2 with the win, which was their fifth straight at home dating back to last season. Luca will have a chance to log another big game when he takes on McLean on Thursday.
