Nathan Avael Delivers Best Performance of Season
St. Brendan came up short on Friday despite Nathan Avael delivering his best game to date. Avael rushed for 86 yards and a touchdown on only 11 carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. His longest rush was for an impressive 64 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
St. Brendan is on a five-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 3-6. Avael and St. Brendan will be playing in front of their home fans against Gulliver Prep at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
