How good has Mount Vernon been? Averaging 29 points per game, allowing 4.6. Joey Rhomberg leads 3A in pass completions with 53. Caden Stimmel and Brady Erickson are 1 and 2 in receptions. The defense is also tied for the lead in sacks (12) and tackles for loss (33). Balanced.

@Twolves_PR Keep letting Wiggins play plenty of “point.” The more opportunities he has to handle the ball, the more engaged he’ll be. When he struggles, it’s often because he’s playing off the ball and not getting regular touches, that’s when he disengages. #PointWiggins
