Shiloh's Losing Streak Is No More Thanks to Royal Weber
Shiloh's ten-game losing streak dating back to last season is now nothing but a memory thanks in part to Royal Weber. Weber picked up two sacks and made ten total tackles (4.0 for loss), good enough for us to rate the performance as the best he's had all season long. He is on a roll when it comes to total tackles, as he's now made five or more in the last 15 games he's played dating back to last season.
Shiloh's first victory this season bumped their record up to 1-6. Their homestand will continue as they prepare to take on Arabia Mountain at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.
