On a night when his mentor Tom Kopatich and the 1982 state champion LaSalle football team were being honored, Xavier Coach Duane Schulte had a flashback Friday to another great team 14 years later.
The 1996 Lancers, who were 9-0 and made it to the state quarterfinals, were led by small and shifty scatback Jess Miller.
His equally speedy nephew Brendan, on his first run from scrimmage in his first varsity start on the first Saints possession Friday night, scampered 64 yards untouched for a touchdown.
“He reminds me a lot of his uncle,” said Schulte. “He’s the same kind of runner. He’s a good little back.”
