The McQueen Lancers are taking a road trip to square off against the Spanish Springs Cougars at 6:00 p.m. on Friday. McQueen is no doubt hoping to put an end to a five-game streak of away losses dating back to last season.
Last Friday, McQueen came up short against Reno and fell 35-28. Despite 102 more yards than the Huskies, the Lancers couldn't convert that extra yardage to scores.
Despite their loss, McQueen saw several players rise to the challenge and make noteworthy plays. Aiden Hayes, who threw for 145 yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 35 yards, was perhaps the best of all. That's the most rushing yards Hayes has posted since back in August. Nick Kester also played a phenomenal game despite the final result: he picked up 98 receiving yards.
McQueen wouldn't let Reno keep a hold of the ball as they managed to force two fumbles. McQueen can thank Kester and Keagan Brenner for forcing both of them. Brenner is also crushing it when it comes to total tackles: he's made at least seven every time he's taken the field this season.

McQueen might still be hurting after the 33-13 defeat they got from Spanish Springs when the teams last played last Friday. A big factor in that loss was the dominant performance of Mcneil, who threw for 277 yards on 17 of 30 attempts, and also rushed for 42 yards and a touchdown. Now that McQueen knows the damage he can cause, will they be able to stop him this time? There's only one way to find out.
