But it was the littlest Miner who came up big in an impressive 44-14 homecoming victory over Pleasant Grove to open the new Region 4 on Friday night.
Braedon Wissler, a 5-foot-7, 165-pound junior running back, scored on runs of 5 and 90 yards and ran for 125 yards on just seven carries to more than hold his own with the big guys.
Like most athletes who play his position, Wissler credited his success to others and said he was just trying to do his part.
PLAYER OF THE GAME
At 5 foot 7 and 165 pounds, Bingham’s Braeden Wissler is often the smallest player on field.
