On Friday, Dysart got the W thanks in part to Avion Bailey playing the best football he has all season. Bailey rushed for 54 yards and a touchdown, and also picked up 54 receiving yards. The performance marked the most rushing yards he has had since back in August.
Bailey must have Page's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Bailey saw the Sand Devils), he picked up 159 receiving yards and four touchdowns.
