I don't recall watching a more exciting high school football game than Lawrence's 34-32 win against Garder Edgerton last night. Brad was extremely limited in practice due to a sprained foot suffered in the Free State loss and was sick all day Friday (threw up on the way to the game, had chills and a fever). Brad only played offense in this game. GE has an incredible running back - Traevohn Wrench, who ran 50 times for 328 yards. Brad was 21 of 28 for 320 yards, three touchdowns and one interception. He also rushed 11 times for 56 yards and another score. However, he fumbled on LHS's last two possessions giving GE opportunities. The LHS defense bent, but did not break sending the Lions to the second round of the playoffs. Very emotional result as it would have been a shame for Brad's career to end because of his fumbles. However, his TEAM was there to make up for it and it was awesome. LHS will host Shawnee Mission West, who beat LHS in the first game of the year, Friday at 7 p.m. to see who moves to the state semifinals.
