Lione Hola Turns in Season-Best Effort

Taufa Florreich Crosses Big Stat Threshold

Thanks to that strong showing, he's now averaging 5.3 total tackles per game. He has been hot recently, having posted six or more total tackles the last four times he's played.
The defeat snapped West's winning streak at three games and leaves them with a 5-5 record. Florreich and West will be playing in front of their home fans against Taylorsville at 3:00 p.m. on Friday.

Manasa Pela Delivers Electric Performance Vs East

Takeshi Savery Delivers Best Performance of Season
Sadly, Takeshi Savery posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead West over Brighton on Wednesday. Savery wasn't messing around, picking up a sack and making 14 total tackles (7.0 for loss). The game was his third straight with seven or more total tackles. He has become a key player for West: the team is 2-1 when he posts at least three total tackles, but 3-4 otherwise.
This year, Savery has averaged 6.4 total tackles per game and for the season has 7 sacks.
