Brown Posts Huge Game in 26-12 Victory
Wildwood picked up their fifth consecutive win on Wednesday thanks in part to Zoey Brown. Brown made her presence known, throwing for 155 yards and four touchdowns. She also deserves a shoutout for her performance on D, making two total tackles and defending one pass in addition to snagging an interception.
Coming up, Brown and Wildwood are taking a road trip to take on Hernando at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday. The Wildcats got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Leopards thanks in part to Brown: she threw for 171 yards and a pair of TDs, and also rushed for 38 yards and one score. Can she match (or beat) that performance?
