Best individual defensive play: Logan Wright against Waterloo Columbus. What is better than a defensive lineman getting an interception? A defensive lineman returning an interception for a game-winning touchdowns. That is what Wright did against the Sailors when he picked off a pass and raced 39 yards for a touchdown with less than four minutes remaining to give West Branch a 30-23 win.

Best clutch performance part 2: Cale Seydel against Regina. The stats are solid. Seydel caught four passes for 58 yards and a touchdown, rushed for 17 yards, had 3.5 tackles and two interceptions. To be a clutch performance you have to make clutch plays and Seydel made the biggest plays of the game in crucial moments in a 21-17 West Branch win. Seydel had an interception in the end zone to stop a Regina drive. On the ensuing possession he caught two passes and had an 18-yard run that set up the game-winning touchdown. His second interception on the next Regina drive sealed the win.
