Anschutz, Guegold propel Lucas to first conference win as a member of N10
With a 28-22 victory over Willard, the Lucas Cubs picked up their first victory as a member of the Northern 10 Conference.
The Lucas Cubs last participated in a football conference in 2012, but changed that this year when they joined the Northern 10 conference. Their first conference matchup was against the Carey Flashes, which they lost 22-28 in Week 3. However, their Week 4 performance proved much more successful. They traveled to Willard and emerged victorious with a score of 28-22.
This marked the first conference win for Lucas as members of the N10. Lucas Head Coach Jim Sweat expressed pride in how his team played, acknowledging the strong performance of their opponents. He highlighted the effectiveness of the team's run game, with Brady Anschutz and Brady Guegold leading the way with 14 and 21 carries respectively, each scoring a touchdown.
Carter Cox and Cooper Day also had significant contributions on the ground, scoring two more touchdowns each. Despite Willard scoring first in the first quarter, Lucas managed to hold on and secure the win. Willard's quarterback, Jacob Rothaar, put up impressive numbers, throwing for 134 yards and two touchdowns along with 133 yards and two more touchdowns on the ground.
He also had a key interception. Despite the victory, Willard remains 2-2 in the season and will face a tough challenge against the 3-1 Seneca East next week. Lucas, on the other hand, now stands at 2-2 and will host the winless Tiffin Calvert in their next game, aiming to continue their conference win streak.
