Carson Lehman Delivers Best Performance of Season
Sadly, Carson Lehman posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Jasper over New Heights Christian Academy on Friday. Lehman rushed for 168 yards and two touchdowns, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
Jasper is on a seven-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 1-7. Lehman and Jasper will face off against Appleton City on Friday.

Carter Bell Has Career Rushing Day

Austin Pickett continued his hot streak on Saturday by dropping his third-straight game with at least two rushing touchdowns.
