The Luverne High School Tigers kept their eyes on one particular Calhoun Tiger during Friday’s game.

“We knew number four was really, really good and didn’t want to kick to him,” said head coach Mike Dubose. “And we didn’t kick to him but once. He is really a good player.”

Luverne had several standout players during the homecoming game.
