A Season-Best Performance from Bryan Isom Leads Tri County Northeast over Wakefield
On Friday, Tri County Northeast got the W thanks in part to Bryan Isom playing the best football he has all season. Isom rushed for 110 yards and two touchdowns on only 11 carries, and also picked up 58 receiving yards and a touchdown, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
For the year, Isom has caught 2 touchdowns while averaging 24.8 receiving yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after six games last season, he was only averaging 17 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 36.83 rushing yards.
