Two former Lawrence High quarterback greats have circled back to one another as the college football season winds down. Benedictine College’s Jackson Dooley (LHS ‘21) and Baker University’s Truman Juelsgaard (LHS ‘22), who both ended their high school careers under former head coach Steve Rampy and current head coach Clint Bowen, clashed two weeks ago in the same cold, wet conditions Kansas and then-No. ...
