Osceola Wins Third-Straight Thanks to Dylan Xayasongkham
Dylan Xayasongkham was instrumental in extending Osceola's winning streak to three on Friday. Xayasongkham was dynamite, making five total tackles and defending a pass. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making five total tackles and defending a pass in addition to snagging an interception.
Countryside had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Xayasongkham it was a similar story. When Xayasongkham last faced the Cougars back in October of 2023, he forced a fumble, made eight total tackles, and defended seven passes in addition to snagging an interception.
