Gray Made His Presence Known in Wellington's 41-20 Win
Wellington picked up their third consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Tanner Gray. Gray did his part (and then some), rushing for 88 yards and four touchdowns on only 12 carries for the 'W'.
Gray's next match is against Valley on Friday, where he'll look to repeat that solid performance. The Eagles got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Vikings, probably because Gray had a solid game then too: he rushed for 39 yards and a touchdown, and also threw for 101 yards and a touchdown. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

Cyle Kisner's Rushing Yards a New Career-High
