Jashawn Shaw Turns in Season-Best Effort
On Thursday, Berry got the W thanks in part to JaShawn Shaw playing the best football he has all season. Shaw wasn't messing around, picking up two sacks and making 11 total tackles (7.0 for loss). The matchup was his third straight with six or more total tackles.
With the victory, Berry broke their five-game losing streak and moved their record to 2-5. A feisty cat fight will be fought when Cardinals takes on Garinger at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
