EXPECTATIONS
HIGH FOR CADDO MILLS
By David Claybourn Herald-Banner Sports Editor
Productivity at quarterback hasn’ t been a problem for the Caddo Mills Foxes in recent seasons.
Quarterback Tyler Townley ran and passed for 3,384 yards and 39 touchdowns in 2019 as the Foxes went 8-3.
Townley increased his total offense to 4,680 yards and 60 TDs in 2020, when the Foxes were 12-1.
Quarterback Jason Thomason produced 3,646 total yards and 43 touchdowns in 2021, leading the Foxes to an
8-4 record. Caden Lemmon, who shared time at quarterback with Alfonso Gonzales, stacked up 2,197 yards and 26 TDs in 2022 for the 11-1 Foxes.
Gonzales was the Foxes’ main guy at quarterback in 2023, racking up 3,969 total yards and 45 TDs as Caddo Mills finished with an 8-4 record.
Gonzales passed for 1,712 yards and 15 touchdowns in 2024 though missing five games due to an injury. He rushed for 199 yards and five more TDs as the Foxes were 6-5 and returned to the playoffs.
While Gonzales was out, the Foxes got more productivity out of two quarterbacks. Jayton Mulkey, now a junior, went 56-of-87 passing for 664 yards and six TDs and Mikey Grant was 37-of-61 for 381 yards and two scores. Mulkey was also one of the Foxes’ top pitchers on a 21-9 baseball team that advanced to the playoffs.
