St. Stanislaus (Mississippi) defeated Lawrence County (Mississippi) 62-28, and it would have been extremely difficult to do so without the spectacular effort put together by St. Stanislaus quarterback Myles Brennan. Brennan threw for 550 yards and seven touchdowns, adding another touchdown on the ground.
“He’s one of the most coachable players I’ve ever had,” St. Stanislaus head coach Bill Conides told the Clarion Ledger. “We work together every week, and if I tell him we need to address something, he fixes it right then and doesn’t do it again.”
Brennan has been remarkably consistent this season, passing for 4,980 yards and 51 touchdowns.
For his efforts, Brennan leads the American Family Insurance ALL-USA Performances of the Week.
