Austin Collins Delivers Best Effort of Season
Wray was led to victory by Austin Collins, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Saturday. Collins rushed for 111 yards and two touchdowns on only six carries, and also picked up 61 receiving yards and a touchdown, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. The bulk of those rushing yards came from one huge play: a run that gained an incredible 59 yards.
The victory for Wray keeps them at an undefeated 11-0. Collins and Wray will be staying on the road on Saturday to face off against Buena Vista at 1:00 p.m.

Casey Midcap Delivers Electric Performance Vs Highland
Casey Midcap's big game helped extend Wray's winning streak to 11 on Saturday. Midcap was dynamite, rushing for 73 yards and two touchdowns on only ten carries, while also throwing for 177 yards and two touchdowns. He has been hot recently, having posted two or more rushing touchdowns the last three times he's played.
Unfortunately for Highland, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Midcap. Midcap rushed for 69 yards and three touchdowns on only five carries the last time he and the Huskies duked it out back in August of 2023.

Wray Wins 11th-Straight Thanks to Aaron Tena
Aaron Tena's big game helped extend Wray's winning streak to 11 on Saturday. Highland had no answer to Tena as he picked up 90 receiving yards and a touchdown. Tena didn't just play on offense: he also made five total tackles (1.0 for loss) and defended a pass.
This year, Tena has caught 8 touchdowns while averaging 56.7 receiving yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after 11 games last season, he had five receiving touchdowns.

Jacob Jaklich Makes It Two for Limon
Keeping McCready company is Jacob Jaklich, a fellow Limon player. He picked up 35 receiving yards and a touchdown.
Jaklich must have Wiggins's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Back in October (the last time Jaklich saw the Tigers), he rushed for 77 yards and a touchdown on only seven carries.
