Tua Made His Presence Known in Army-Navy's 45-0 Win
Another Army-Navy player making an appearance on this list is Jonah Tua. He picked up two sacks and made five total tackles.

Another Game with at Least Five Total Tackles from Luke Givens
Luke Givens continued his hot streak on Friday by dropping his third-straight game with at least five total tackles. He picked up a sack, forced a fumble, and made eight total tackles (3.0 for loss). He is becoming a predictor of La Jolla Country Day's success: when he posts at least four total tackles the team is 2-1 (and 2-3 when he doesn't).
For the year, Givens has averaged 4.8 total tackles per game and for the season has 6.5 sacks. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he had one sack.
