The Taylor Ducks varsity football team enters its bye week on a three-game winning streak and remains undefeated in district play.
The Ducks began the season with four straight losses in nondistrict matchups, plagued by turnover issues that led to double-digit giveaways. Offensive struggles also mounted as the team rotated between senior all-purpose player Eli Laurence, sophomore Caleb Pachienco and freshman all-purpose player Johnny Guzman at the quarterback position in search of consistency.
Fortunately for Taylor, Laurence has emerged as the solution, solidifying his role as the starting quarterback and leading the Ducks to consecutive victories over Manor New Tech, Austin Achieve and Northeast Early College High School. Laurence has passed for 1,053 yards and 11 touchdowns this season.
