A native of Warrenton, Mo., Lathrop averaged nearly nine (8.9) yards per carry on 20 attempts. His career-long         67-yard touchdown run gave the Redhawks a 14-0 advantage in  the first quarter. Lathrop’s other score came on a 1-yard run in the second quarter. He rushed for 159 yards and both of his TDs in the first half and led Southeast to a season-high 399 rushing yards against the Governors. In addition, Lathrop’s 179 yards were the second-most in a game by any Southeast quarterback. He was also tabbed the Offensive Player of the Week by College Sports Madness.
