A Season-Best Effort from Matthew Wiegand Leads Capital City over Helias
Sadly, Matthew Wiegand posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Capital City over Helias on Friday. Wiegand wasn't messing around, picking up a sack and making 13 total tackles (4.0 for loss). The game was his eighth straight with five or more total tackles dating back to last season.
Capital City's defeat ended a six-game streak of wins at home dating back to last season and dropped them to 4-2. Wiegand and Capital City will have a little extra prep time after the loss as they won't be playing again for a while. They'll take on Camdenton at 7:00 p.m. on October 18th.
