Lucas Pierce Freshman QB at Newark Catholic high school had his opener Monday night for the famed†Green Wave†in Newark Ohio and had an outstanding game against the always strong Licking Valley Panthers.  Lucas has bounced back from a minor shoulder  injury and looks to be ready to go. He had 206 yards passing on 15/27 completions.  1 TD passing and 1 TD running. He also rushed for 35 yards on 11 carries.  He has a great opportunity under coach Franks to reach or surpass the stats of the now Illinois QB Chayce Crouch, who was the Newark Catholic QB through the 2014 season.  Lucas and Mark are 2 of the top young QBs in Ohio and have a great future. They are going to be fun to watch.
