Bricen Wright Turns in Season-Best Performance
On Friday, Chadron had to settle for second even though Bricen Wright put up the best numbers he has all season. Wright picked up 115 receiving yards and two touchdowns, good enough to also set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, forcing a fumble and making ten total tackles.
The loss snapped Chadron's winning streak at seven games and leaves them with a 7-1 record. Wright and Chadron will host Sidney at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
