LHS Player of the week: Josh Lawrence

Positions: Tight end/defensive end.

The game: On a team that predicates itself on running the ball, Lawrence is one of the best weapons when the Lions do throw the ball. He leads LHS in receptions with 10, but he has started to become a force on defense, too. The junior had three of the Lionsâ five sacks in last FridayâÂÂs 40-21 win against Blue Valley North.

Comment: âÂÂHe has played really well all year,â LHS coach Dirk Wedd said. âÂÂJosh has done a really good job blocking and heâÂÂs our No. 1 receiver. HeâÂÂs got great hands, the best hands on the team. HeâÂÂs made some unbelievable catches.âÂÂ
