Career Records Could Fall as 2008 Season Begins

Several Legacy High career records are within reach as the talent rich Lightning begin the 2008 season.

Offense (Passing)
After setting single season passing records in yards 1,442 and TD's 15 in 2007, Sr QB Luke Bublitz needs 1,311 yds this year to eclipse Brady Van Sickle's (2000-02) career mark of 2,849 passing yds, and needs 9 TD passes to eclipse Noah Shepard's (2004-04) record of 24. Sitting now at 1,920 yds, Bublitz also has Joey Applehans' Total Offense career mark of 3,401 yds within his reach.
Offense (Receiving)
Mitch Griffin's (2004-04) Lightning career mark of 979 yds recieving is in jeopardy as both Bryson Romero (596 yds) and Travis Sears (374 yds) are within striking distance. Romero is also only two TD's away from breaking Gehrick Dickson's career mark of 11.

Defense (Sacks)
Already the career sack leader with 21.5 sacks Nick Kasa will add to that total in 2008.
Defense (Tackles)
Nick Kasa also has the career tackles record within his reach. Nick comes into the season with 148 career tackles. The current record of 214 is held by Cody Kincaid (2000-03)
