PLUMMER - Tyler McCully rushed for 325 yards and five touchdowns on 19 carries, added six tackles and a 30-yard interception return for another score and Lakeside defeated Clark Fork in a North Star League game that ended in the third quarter due to the 45-point mercy rule.
"McCully is tough to deal with when he gets into space; he led us on offense and defense," Lakeside coach Ron Miller said. "He played a great game as a senior in his final home game."
Lakeside's Tucker Louie-McGee completed 5 of 12 passes for 127 yards and three touchdowns and added a fourth on a 23-yard touchdown run.
