Isaac Pamaran was a major factor in Papillion-LaVista's win over Fremont on Thursday. Fremont had no answer to Pamaran as he made three total tackles. Pamaran also posted 184 receiving yards, which is notable because Papillion-LaVista is undefeated when he posts at least 80 receiving yards, but 1-2 otherwise.
Papillion-LaVista's victory bumped their record up to 6-2. Pamaran will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant performance when he faces off against Omaha Westside on Thursday.
