Herders rack up impressive stats
Logan Jones avoids a tackle on a kick-off return against Tongue River on Oct. 23. Jones earlier put the Herd on the scoreboard with a 90-plus yard run on the opening kickoff. Jones, a junior, posted the highest rushing yards in the 2A and has the second most yards in a single game in the class.
The Herders may not have found the team success they were hoping for on the gridiron this season, but the Glenrock boys still put together some top notch performances. Of the 16 teams in Class 2A, the Herders put together one of the best seasons running the football of any school.
Below is a breakdown of the top statistical performances for the Herders and where those performances rank in Class 2A. All statistics and rankings do not include the playoffs and are provided courtesy of WyoPreps.
