Southwest Wins Sixth-Straight Thanks to Tyson Deen
Tyson Deen was instrumental in extending Southwest's winning streak to six on Friday. Deen did his part (and then some), forcing two fumbles and making eight total tackles for the 'W'. He also put in work on the defensive side of the ball, forcing two fumbles and making eight total tackles.
Unfortunately for South San Antonio, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Deen. Deen forced a fumble and made 13 total tackles (1.0 for loss) the last time he and the Bobcats duked it out back in October of 2023.
