HISTORIC OFFENSIVE OUTPUT: Senior quarterback Luke Dunham looks downfield after evading the initial defenders for a positive gain in the fourth quarter of the Knights' 78-57 loss at eventual district champion Liberty Hill on Oct. 25. While the game did not end in the victory for the Knights, the moral victory of putting up 57 points on a team of Liberty Hill's caliber and the offensive statistics achieved during the game make it a historic day for McCallum football despite the loss. Dunham must have achieved the best statistical day ever for a McCallum quarterback. He threw for 501 yards and five touchdowns and also rushed for 131 yards and two touchdowns on eight carries. Those gaudy numbers increased his passing yards per game average to an impressive 316.6 passing yards per game at that point in the season. Senior wide receive Mark Sanchez had a similarly stellar game statistically on both sides of the ball. On offense, he hauled in 14 passes for 255 yards and three touchdowns. On defense, he made 14 tackles. Heisman winner Travis Hunter would love to have had a two-way game with those stats.

From Friday Knights to future heights
