Simla Gets a Boost from Eurich in 36-16 Loss
While Tj Eurich delivered a dominant performance on Friday, a win just wasn't in the cards for Simla. Byers had no answer to Eurich as he rushed for 125 yards and two touchdowns. Eurich is becoming a predictor of Simla's success: when he posts at least 100 rushing yards the team is undefeated (and 1-2 when he doesn't).
For the year, Eurich has averaged 44.5 receiving yards per game.
