Alton's Losing Streak Is No More Thanks to Elijah Stueckel

Elijah Stueckel helped snap Alton's 13-game losing streak dating back to last season. Stueckel was dynamite on Friday, making 11 total tackles (5.0 for loss).

Alton's first win this season bumped their record up to 1-7. Stueckel and Alton will square off against Mt. Vernon at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Gamescore: 25.75

Thanks in part to Jordan Womack, Alton said goodbye to their 13-game losing streak dating back to last season. Womack picked up two sacks and made six total tackles (3.0 for loss), good enough for us to rate the performance as the best he's had all season long.

This year, Womack has averaged 4.1 total tackles per game and for the season has 3.5 sacks. He is looking even better than he did last year: after seven games last season, he was only averaging 0.57 total tackles per game.
