Taylor Posts Huge Game in 34-0 Win
Firestone found a leader in Daylyn Taylor as the team took down North on Thursday. Taylor turned in nothing short of a gem, throwing for 74 yards and two touchdowns.
Firestone has been performing well recently as they've won three of their last four matches, which provided a nice bump to their 4-5 record this season. Taylor's next contest is against Ellet on Saturday, where he'll look to repeat that solid effort.
