Tyson Deen and Co. Win Sixth in a Row
Tyson Deen's big game helped extend Southwest's winning streak to six on Friday. Deen turned in nothing short of a gem, forcing two fumbles and making eight total tackles. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, forcing two fumbles and making eight total tackles.
South San Antonio had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Deen it was a similar story. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Deen saw the Bobcats), he forced a fumble and made 13 total tackles (1.0 for loss).
