A Season-Best Performance from Lione Hola Leads East over Highland
Lione Hola produced his most outstanding game to date while leading East to the win on Wednesday. Hola picked up four sacks and made 19 total tackles (6.0 for loss).

Gamescore: 62.00
Taufa Florreich Crosses Big Stat Threshold
West came up short on Wednesday despite Taufa Florreich delivering his best game to date. Florreich forced a fumble and made 17 total tackles (10.0 for loss). Thanks to that strong showing, he's now averaging 5.3 total tackles per game. He is on a roll when it comes to total tackles, as he's now made six or more in the last four games he's played.
West moved to 5-5 with that defeat, which also ended their three-game winning streak. Florreich and West will look to defend their home field on Friday against Taylorsville at 3:00 p.m.
Gamescore: 44.25
Nasio Otukolo Makes It Two for East
The second East player making an appearance here is Nasio Otukolo, and for good reason. His rushing production has been exceptional as that marked his seventh straight game with at least 106 rushing yards.
Gamescore: 40.30
Manasa Pela Delivers Electric Effort Vs East
Highland had to settle for second on Wednesday, but Manasa Pela sure wasn't going down easily. Pela was unstoppable, throwing for 310 yards and three touchdowns, while also punching in a touchdown on the ground.
Highland is on a four-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 3-6. Pela and Highland will take on Springville at 6:00 p.m. on Friday.
Gamescore: 34.92
Takeshi Savery Turns in Season-Best Effort
Sadly, Takeshi Savery posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead West over Brighton on Wednesday. Savery wasn't messing around, picking up a sack and making 14 total tackles (7.0 for loss). The matchup was his third straight with seven or more total tackles. He is becoming a predictor of West's success: when he posts at least three total tackles the team is 2-1 (and 3-4 when he doesn't).
This year, Savery has averaged 6.4 total tackles per game and for the season has 7 sacks.
