Wray Wins Sixth-Straight Thanks to Samuel Meisner
Wray picked up their sixth consecutive win on Saturday thanks in part to Samuel Meisner. Meisner did his part (and then some), making ten total tackles (1.5 for loss) for the 'W'.
If the past is any indication, Meisner could be in store for another big game when he takes on Limon on Friday. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Meisner saw the Badgers), he made 16 total tackles.

Jayson Lousberg Delivers Electric Performance Vs Yuma
Winning always takes teamwork, but on Friday Jayson Lousberg stepped things up a notch to give Wiggins the 'W'. Lousberg was dynamite, rushing for 139 yards and two touchdowns.
Lousberg must have Yuma's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Lousberg saw the Outlaws), he rushed for 180 yards and two touchdowns.
Gamescore: 30.60
