Braeden Ward Goes Supernova in Twelve Bridges Victory
Twelve Bridges picked up their sixth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Braeden Ward. Ward did his part (and then some), rushing for 165 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 9.2 yards per carry, and also picking up 86 receiving yards and a touchdown for the 'W'.
Twelve Bridges' victory was their eighth straight on the road dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 6-0. Ward and Twelve Bridges will look to defend their home field on Friday against Nevada Union at 7:30 p.m.

Flaherty Posts Huge Game in 56-0 Victory
Twelve Bridges picked up their sixth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Connor Flaherty. Flaherty turned in nothing short of a gem, throwing for 279 yards and three touchdowns while completing 84.2% of his passes. He is on a roll when it comes to passing touchdowns, as he's now passed for three or more in the last three games he's played dating back to last season.
For the year, Flaherty has thrown 13 touchdowns (and and only 1 picks) while averaging 217.2 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 0.17 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 40 rushing yards.
Gamescore: 34.30
Twelve Bridges Wins Sixth-Straight Thanks to Isaiah Rodriguez
Isaiah Rodriguez was instrumental in extending Twelve Bridges's winning streak to six on Friday. Rodriguez did his part (and then some), picking up 165 receiving yards and two touchdowns for the 'W'. He was no stranger to the big play, connecting on a big catch that went for 56 yards.
On the year, Rodriguez has caught 8 touchdowns while averaging 95.2 receiving yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after six games last season, he was only averaging 54.5 receiving yards per game.
