A Season-Best Performance from Kaleb Flournoy Leads Corning over Live Oak

Big Game from Schager As Orland Won 7-6
Luke Schager was a major factor in Orland's victory over Las Plumas on Friday. Las Plumas had no answer to Schager as he rushed for 151 yards and a touchdown. Schager also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, picking up a sack and making five total tackles.
On the season, Schager has thrown 2 touchdowns while averaging 16.4 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 7.86 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 136 rushing yards.
