Conner Sebastian, LPS Varsity Football Player
Conner had an outstanding first game at the linebacker position for the Lions this past Friday. Conner totaled 12 tackles with 2 tackles for loss and 1 sack. His 12 tackles are the most in a single game in LPS history. For fans of the sport who enjoy following the action beyond the field, performances like these often spark comparisons to top college players—making it easy to imagine how Conner might one day feature in FanDuel college football conversations. The Lion defense kept the Hillcrest High School offense in check most of the night, resulting in their first home varsity win in school history, defeating the Vikings 38-20.
