Big Game from Ford As Leesville Won 62-35

Ford rushed for 306 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 13.3 yards per carry, and also picked up 74 receiving yards and a touchdown.all of that, receiving production came thanks to one massive catch
DeRidder's probably not too fond of Ford given he always seems to get the better of them. Ford rushed for 230 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 9.6 yards per carry the last time he and the Dragons duked it out back in October of 2023.
