Austin Collins Turns in Season-Best Performance
Austin Collins produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Wray to the win on Saturday. Collins rushed for 111 yards and two touchdowns on only six carries, and also picked up 61 receiving yards and a touchdown, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He got the majority of those rushing yards when he took off on a run that went for an incredible 59 yards.

Casey Midcap Delivers Electric Effort Vs Highland
Wray picked up their 11th consecutive win on Saturday thanks in part to Casey Midcap. Midcap was unstoppable, rushing for 73 yards and two touchdowns on only ten carries, while also throwing for 177 yards and two touchdowns. He is on a roll when it comes to rushing touchdowns, as he's now punched in two or more in the last three games he's played.
Highland's probably not too fond of Midcap given he always seems to get the better of them. Midcap rushed for 69 yards and three touchdowns on only five carries the last time he and the Huskies duked it out back in August of 2023.

Lousberg Posts Huge Game in 21-12 Defeat
Wiggins was sadly handed a defeat on Saturday, but Jayson Lousberg did his best to prevent it. Lousberg was dynamite, rushing for 198 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 8.6 yards per carry.
Limon had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Lousberg it was a similar story. When Lousberg last faced the Badgers back in October, he rushed for 113 yards and two touchdowns.
