Big Game from Kolala As Westview Won 42-13
Keeping Shaffar company is Aaron Kolala, a fellow Westview player. He made 15 total tackles (4.0 for loss). He is on a roll when it comes to total tackles, as he's now made five or more in the last seven games he's played dating back to last season.
For the year, Kolala has averaged 11 total tackles per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 2.17 total tackles per game.

Nelsyn Wheeler Crosses Big Stat Threshold
While Grand Island might've come up empty on Thursday, Nelsyn Wheeler wasn't going down without a fight. Wheeler showed up in a big way, rushing for 128 yards and a touchdown. He's now once again averaging 100+ rushing yards (102) per game.
Wheeler will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant performance when he faces off against Lincoln North Star on Friday. The matchup will pit Wheeler up against the Navigators' star RB Jordan Anderson. With so much talent on the field, fans are surely in for an exciting game. The only thing left to see is who brings home the W.
