Braden Slater Delivers Best Performance of Season
Braden Slater produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Karns City to the win on Friday. Slater rushed for 195 yards and five touchdowns on only nine carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. His longest rush was for an impressive 69 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
If history really does repeat itself, Slater might just drop another big game when he faces off against Bradford on Friday. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Slater saw the Owls), he rushed for 83 yards and a touchdown.
