Osceola Wins Third-Straight Thanks to Dylan Xayasongkham
Dylan Xayasongkham's big game helped extend Osceola's winning streak to three on Friday. Xayasongkham turned in nothing short of a gem, making five total tackles and defending a pass. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making five total tackles and defending a pass in addition to snagging an interception.
Xayasongkham must have Countryside's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. When Xayasongkham last faced the Cougars back in October of 2023, he forced a fumble, made eight total tackles, and defended seven passes in addition to snagging an interception.
