Tysen Fleischman Turns in Season-Best Performance
Tysen Fleischman's big game helped extend Bennington's winning streak to 20 on Friday. Fleischman forced a fumble and made ten total tackles (2.0 for loss), good enough for us to rate the performance as the best he's had all season long. 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.
For the season, 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.
Gamescore: 23.25
Cooper Johnson's big game helped extend Bennington's winning streak to 20 on Friday. Johnson picked up 102 receiving yards and two touchdowns, good enough for us to rate the performance as the best he's had all season long.
For the year, Johnson has caught 5 touchdowns while averaging 59.3 receiving yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after seven games last season, he was only averaging 6.57 receiving yards per game.
