In a game filled with stars, North Hardin running back La’Vell Wright shined brightest when it matter most.
Trailing by one point with the clock running in the final minute of the season-opening showcase, North Hardin was on the ropes at Frederick Douglass. Facing pressure on third and long, the Trojans’ quarterback flicked the ball to Wright. The UK commit turned nothing into something, powering through opponents 20 yards down the field inside the 10-yard line.
Wright’s heroics setup a potential 25-yard game-winning field goal. As was the case for the entire game, the play was filled with dramatics.
