John Goodman's Debut at quarterback
Fort Wayne native and Notre Dame commit John Goodman had the first game of his senior season at Bishop Dwenger on Friday. It was also his first game as a quarterback since he was a freshman.
The Saints beat Concordia, 21-7, and Goodman went 4 of 9 for 71 yards and a second-half touchdown. Our reporter on the scene, LaMond Pope, said he ran 11 times for 11 yards, if you include sack yardage in lost yardage.
Goodman was also the cover story for The Journal Gazette's high school football tab, describing his rise as a major college recruit.
We'll have more on Goodman's night in Saturday's Journal Gazette. We'll have more tidbits from the Goodman feature story on Insights tomorrow.
