A Season-Best Performance from Tyler Hoff Leads Buena over Royal
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. His longest reception was for an incredible 80 yards.
If history really does repeat itself, Hoff might just drop another big game when he faces off against Oak Park on Friday. Hoff picked up 102 receiving yards and two touchdowns the last time he and the Eagles duked it out back in August of 2023.
