Immanuel Wins Sixth-Straight Thanks to Jackson Leibee
Immanuel picked up their sixth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Jackson Leibee. Leibee did his part (and then some), rushing for 85 yards on only nine carries, while also picking up 40 receiving yards for the 'W'.
This season, Leibee has averaged 21.2 receiving yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 15.17 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 96 rushing yards.
