Former Huskies quarterback Jordan Lynch claims first state title as head coach

DeKALB Jordan Lynch, the former Huskie quarterback and Heisman trophy candidate, claimed his first IHSA football title as a head coach Saturday.

The Mount Carmel High School Caravan completed an undefeated season with a 37-13 win over the Nazareth Academy Roadrunners. In just his second season as the leader of his high school alma mater, Lynch delivered the school its 13th state football title.

Lynch handed the Caravan its first title since replacing long-time head coach Frank Lenti, which Lynch took pride in taking the reigns of the program as quick as he did.
