He didn't just play on offense: he also made 11 total tackles and defended a pass.

Jack Patchin Makes It Two for Roscommon
Another Roscommon player making an appearance on this list is Jack Patchin. He wasn't messing around on Friday, picking up a sack and making 13 total tackles (2.0 for loss). The match was his third straight with six or more total tackles dating back to last season.
On the season, Patchin has averaged 7 total tackles per game and for the season has 2 sacks. He is looking even better than he did last year: after six games last season, he was only averaging three total tackles per game.

While Evart might've come up empty on Friday, Aidan Anderson wasn't going down without a fight. Beal City had no answer to Anderson as he threw for 155 yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 51 yards.
Evart's defeat ended a three-game streak of wins at home and dropped them to 4-2. Anderson's next match is against McBain on Friday, where he'll look to repeat that solid effort.
