The Tigers are now 3-3 overall and 3-2 in the 9-Man East and have managed to win a 9-point game and a 2-point game this season. Entering the game, Lusk was ranked #1 on passing in 9-Man football with Jackson Smith averaging 212 yards through the air per game. Nathan Miller has benefited from that kind of play from his receiver spot and he has been averaging 168 all-purpose yards per game.
