Lakeland Christian's spring football showcase turned into a decisive 52‑28 victory over Lecanto, underscoring the team's offensive depth and defensive sharpness.
Quarterback Brody Brenneman was the centerpiece of the attack, throwing for 318 yards and five touchdowns while also demonstrating poise under pressure, evading rushers and delivering a 32‑yard strike to Aidan Wright and a 70‑yard connection to AJ Truedell.
Running back AJ Truedell added a dual‑threat dimension, racking up 83 rushing yards and 101 receiving yards, highlighted by a 6‑yard touchdown run and a 70‑yard reception that capped a productive second quarter.
Other Scoring Highlights
The Lancers' scoring spread across multiple playmakers: JD McCoy caught a 64‑yard touchdown, Marcus Bankston hauled in a 41‑yard catch, Cael Straub added an 11‑yard touchdown, and Wright contributed a 28‑yard score.
Defensively, the team forced key turnovers and pressures, with Jayden Wall intercepting a pass in the end zone and a trio of linemen — Payton Riley, Blake Calhoun, and Joseph Bustos — generating consistent quarterback pressure, while Bankston also registered a pass deflection and Calhoun a breakup.
The performance not only celebrated individual statistics but also reflected a cohesive unit ready to build on its momentum as the season progresses.
