Senior ran for 100-plus yards and returned kickoff for TD in Lakers' opener

Highlights: Last weekend, Khalil Barnes demonstrated why Mercyhurst Prep's opponents could have more issues than just containing fellow running back Zack Helsley.

Barnes, like Helsley, ran for more than 100 yards during the Lakers' 33-18 non-region victory over Meadville at Bender Field. He finished with 122 on only 12 carries.

However, Barnes also showed himself as a special teams threat. His 79-yard kickoff return in the third quarter gave Mercyhurst a lead it never relinquished.

He's also a defensive standout in the Lakers' secondary.
