Southwest Wins Sixth-Straight Thanks to Tyson Deen
Tyson Deen's big game helped extend Southwest's winning streak to six on Friday. Deen did his part (and then some), forcing two fumbles and making eight total tackles for the 'W'. He didn't just play on offense: he also forced two fumbles and made eight total tackles.
South San Antonio had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Deen it was a similar story. When Deen last faced the Bobcats back in October of 2023, he forced a fumble and made 13 total tackles (1.0 for loss).
