Jeremiah Shelley Turns in Season-Best Performance
On Thursday, Westbury got the W thanks in part to Jeremiah Shelley playing the best football he has all season. Shelley wasn't messing around, picking up two sacks, forcing a fumble, and making nine total tackles (3.0 for loss). The matchup was his seventh straight with five or more total tackles dating back to last season. He is becoming a predictor of Westbury's success: when he posts at least one sack the team is 2-1 (and 2-3 when he doesn't).
