Former Breckenridge standout leads ACU defense to playoff success

The 2022 Breckenridge football team was one of the school's best since the turn of the century. That Buckaroos squad finished with an 8-3 record, the second most wins in a season since the 2010 squad went 9-3. Only two other times since 2000 has Breckenridge posted at least eight wins.

The Buckaroos enjoyed rare gridiron success in 2022 behind the rushing attack of Anson Rodgers and Jerry Lawson. Rodgers was listed at 5-10 185 pounds, a standard measurement for a Class 3A running back. On the other hand, Lawson was anything but ordinary size for a running back. Yet, the 6-2, 245-pound senior averaged 6.9 yards per carry and scored nine touchdowns on offense while also playing defensive end, where he was second on the team with 12 tackles for-loss despite minimal playing time.
