Case Vanden Bosch Turns in Another Game with at Least Two Rushing Touchdowns
On Friday, Brophy College Prep got the W thanks in part to Case Vanden Bosch playing the best football he has all season.

The game was his third straight with two or more rushing touchdowns. His longest rush was for an impressive 51 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
