A Season-Best Effort from Tysen Fleischman Leads Bennington over Elkhorn
Bennington picked up their 20th consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Tysen Fleischman. Fleischman turned in his biggest game of the season, forcing a fumble and making ten total tackles (2.0 for loss). He is on a roll when it comes to total tackles, as he's now made five or more in the last three games he's played dating back to last season.
On the year, Fleischman has averaged 5 total tackles per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had one forced fumble. This year he is already up to three.
