Wray Wins Sixth-Straight Thanks to Samuel Meisner
Samuel Meisner's big game helped extend Wray's winning streak to six on Saturday. Nobody could stop Meisner as he made ten total tackles (1.5 for loss).
If the past is any indication, Meisner could be in store for another big game when he takes on Limon on Friday. Meisner made 16 total tackles the last time he and the Badgers duked it out back in October of 2023.

Wiggins Gets a Boost from Lousberg in 27-6 Victory
Winning always takes teamwork, but on Friday Jayson Lousberg stepped things up a notch to give Wiggins the 'W'. Yuma had no answer to Lousberg as he rushed for 139 yards and two touchdowns.
Unfortunately for Yuma, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Lousberg. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Lousberg saw the Outlaws), he rushed for 180 yards and two touchdowns.
Gamescore: 30.60
While Yuma might've come up empty on Friday, Christian Thomson wasn't going down without a fight. Despite the defeat, Thomson was still balling out as he rushed for 46 yards and a touchdown, and also picked up 34 receiving yards.
For the year, Thomson has run in 2 touchdowns while averaging 21.3 rushing yards per game.

A Season-Best Effort from Jorge Mendez Leads Wiggins over Yuma
Jorge Mendez put up the most rushing yards he's had since back in September of 2023 on Friday. He rushed for 79 yards and a touchdown on only 11 carries, good enough for us to rate the performance as the best he's had all season long. He also put in work on the defensive side of the ball, picking up a sack and making eight total tackles.
This year, Mendez has run in 3 touchdowns while averaging 30.8 rushing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after six games last season, he had one rushing touchdown.
