A Season-Best Effort from Jashawn Shaw Leads Berry over Ballantyne Ridge
On Thursday, Berry got the W thanks in part to JaShawn Shaw playing the best football he has all season. Shaw wasn't messing around, picking up two sacks and making 11 total tackles (7.0 for loss). The game was his third straight with six or more total tackles.
Berry moved to 2-5 with that victory, which also ended their five-game losing streak. A feisty cat fight will be fought when Cardinals challenges Garinger at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Berry's Losing Streak Is No More Thanks to Daylyn Taylor
Berry's five-game losing streak is now nothing but a memory thanks in part to Daylyn Taylor. Taylor was dynamite on Thursday, picking up four sacks, forcing a fumble, and making seven total tackles.
This season, Taylor has averaged 5 total tackles per game and for the season has those 4 sacks. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 0.2 total tackles per game.

While Olympic might've come up empty on Thursday, De'Angelo Hall wasn't going down without a fight. Hall turned in nothing short of a gem, picking up 56 receiving yards, while also punching in a rushing score. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, forcing a fumble and making a tackle.
On the year, Hall has averaged 53.7 receiving yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 1.43 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 4.14 rushing yards.
