A Season-Best Performance from Wyatt Dubois Leads St. Edmund over Opelousas Catholic
On Friday, St. Edmund got the W thanks in part to Wyatt Dubois playing the best football he has all season. Dubois forced two fumbles, made ten total tackles (0.5 for loss), and defended a pass in addition to snagging an interception.
On the year, Dubois has averaged 6.4 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.
