Tyler Hoff Delivers Best Performance of Season
On Thursday, Buena got the W thanks in part to Tyler Hoff playing the best football he has all season. Hoff picked up 125 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 61 yards. The effort marked the most rushing yards he has had since back in October of 2023. He torched the secondary when he pulled down a catch that went for 80 yards.
