MODESTO — Be careful what you ask for.
The Lathrop game plan coming into Friday night’s Western Athletic Conference tilt with Grace Davis of Modesto was to force the high-octane passing offense, which averages 350 yards a game, into a ground attack.
The strategy worked, until it did not.
Grace Davis running back Francisco Mercado had a breakout game with 209 rushing yards and five touchdowns to lead his squad past Lathrop 55-28 at Modesto Junior College.
