A Season-Best Effort from Brayden Lawson Leads Marmaton Valley over St. Paul
Marmaton Valley was led to victory by Brayden Lawson, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Lawson rushed for 156 yards and four touchdowns on only six carries, and also threw for 255 yards and five touchdowns while completing 73.3% of his passes. Thanks to that strong showing, he's now averaging 2.1 rushing touchdowns per game. The dominant performance gave him a new career-high in rushing yards.
Unfortunately for St. Paul, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Lawson. Lawson threw for 346 yards and seven touchdowns while completing 80% of his passes, and also rushed for 83 yards and two touchdowns the last time he and the Indians duked it out back in October of 2023.
