LEBANON −After bursting through the line of scrimmage Friday and widening Lebanon's sizable lead, Cade Muscia sauntered toward the nearest official and gently surrendered the football.
Muscia has crossed the goal line more than 50 times in his brilliant career, so there was nothing foreign about his two-touchdown performance in the Yellowjackets' 53-12 Class 5 District 5 semifinal thrashing of Waynesville.
The all-state senior running back is more interested in the unfamiliar.
Lebanon (10-1), a tradition-rich program that has clinched seven district championship berths in the past eight seasons and reached the state quarterfinals four times in that stretch, has never reached the state semifinals.
