Tre Leonard Delivers Best Performance of Season
On Friday, South Florence got the W thanks in part to Tre Leonard playing the best football he has all season. Leonard rushed for 181 yards and two touchdowns on only nine carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He has become a key player for South Florence: the team is undefeated when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns, but 1-2 otherwise.
