Sean Collins Turns in Season-Best Effort
Sean Collins produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Shadow Mountain to the win on Friday. Collins rushed for 122 yards and two touchdowns on only 11 carries. The effort marked the most rushing yards he has had since back in October of 2023. He has become a key player for Shadow Mountain: the team is 3-1 when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns, but 1-3 otherwise.
Unfortunately for Kofa, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Collins. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Collins saw the Kings), he rushed for 197 yards and three touchdowns on only seven carries.
