Lakewood Gets a Boost from Casillas in 49-0 Win

Casillas is probably looking forward to his next game, a road matchup against Jordan on Friday. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Casillas saw the Panthers), he threw for 204 yards and two touchdowns while completing 80% of his passes, and also rushed for 61 yards on only six carries.
