When they finally connected late in the first quarter of Thursday’s game against Conner, it became a 43-yard touchdown, one of O’Hara’s four in a 42-17 win. “I knew Cam was going to […]

Lloyd overwhelms Brossart, 44-16
It could’ve been the three turnovers Lloyd Memorial forced in Friday’s game against Bishop Brossart. Maybe it was Juggernauts quarterback Kaleb Evans throwing for 220 yards and three touchdowns, Lloyd’s 175 rushing yards or the 37 unanswered points. It turned out to be a combination of all three. Lloyd emphatically ended the Mustangs’ four-game winning […]
