Wray Wins Sixth-Straight Thanks to Samuel Meisner
Samuel Meisner was instrumental in extending Wray's winning streak to six on Saturday. Meisner was dynamite, making ten total tackles (1.5 for loss).

Lousberg Made His Presence Known in Wiggins' 27-6 Victory
Wiggins found a leader in Jayson Lousberg as the squad took down Yuma on Friday. Lousberg was dynamite, rushing for 139 yards and two touchdowns.
