Apollo Pereira Delivers Electric Performance Vs Archie Williams
Piner picked up their sixth consecutive win on Saturday thanks in part to Apollo Pereira. Pereira did his part (and then some), picking up 138 receiving yards and two touchdowns, while also rushing for 77 yards and a touchdown on only six carries for the 'W'. His longest reception was for an impressive 64 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per catch total.
On the season, Pereira has caught 13 touchdowns while averaging 85.6 receiving yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after ten games last season, he had six receiving touchdowns.
