Schager Posts Huge Game in 7-6 Win
Winning always takes teamwork, but on Friday Luke Schager stepped things up a notch to give Orland the 'W'. Las Plumas had no answer to Schager as he rushed for 151 yards and a touchdown. Schager didn't just play on offense: he also picked up a sack and made 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.

Corning was led to victory by Blake Ward, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Ward rushed for 134 yards and a touchdown on only ten carries. His longest rush was for an impressive 65 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
Ward and Corning will square off against Las Plumas at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. Ward will face off against Bryson Ruff, the Thunderbirds' star RB. With so much talent on the field, fans are surely in for an exciting game. The only thing left to see is who brings home the W.
