Winning always takes teamwork, but on Thursday Isaac Pamaran stepped things up a notch to give Papillion-LaVista the 'W'. Fremont had no answer to Pamaran as he made three total tackles. Pamaran also posted 184 receiving yards, which is notable because Papillion-LaVista is undefeated when he posts at least 80 receiving yards, but 1-2 otherwise.
Papillion-LaVista's win bumped their record up to 6-2. Pamaran's next contest is against Omaha Westside on Thursday, where he'll look to repeat that solid effort.
