Kaison Phillips Goes Supernova in Ledford Loss
Ledford had to settle for second on Friday, but Kaison Phillips sure wasn't going down easily. Nobody could stop Phillips as he threw for 255 yards and three touchdowns, and also rushed for 55 yards and a touchdown. He has become a key player for Ledford: the team is 2-1 when he posts at least three passing touchdowns, but 1-3 otherwise.
Ledford now has a losing record at 3-4. Phillips will have a chance to log another big game when he takes on Oak Grove on Friday.
