Xavier Dillard Turns in Another Game with at Least Six Total Tackles
Sadly, Xavier Dillard posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Lightridge over Independence on Thursday. Dillard wasn't messing around, picking up a sack and making 18 total tackles (3.0 for loss). The game was his 15th straight with six or more total tackles dating back to last season.
Independence's probably not too fond of Dillard given he always seems to get the better of them. Dillard made 14 total tackles (1.0 for loss) and defended two passes the last time he and the duked it out back in October of 2023.
