SUMMARY
I don’t recall any receiver, at least in the last 25 years, collecting as many passes as Tsubasa Brennan of Pac-Five has in a three-game span: 44 receptions, 555 yards (and seven TDs). The obvious: his first two opponents were D-II defenses (King Kekaulike, St. Francis). But then Brennan went out and had 14 catches for 119 yards and a touchdown in a loss to Saint Louis. Clearly, defenses would rather shut him down, but the easier route is to contain the 6-foot-1 junior rather than take the risk of double-teaming him tightly on every snap. When Kainoa Ferreira finds Brennan, it’s like two guys in the park playing catch. There just isn’t another 6-1 athlete playing corner on most teams, so defenses have to pick their poison. At this rate, Brennan is on pace for 117 catches and 1,480 yards (and 18 TDs) even if the Wolfpack play the minimum of eight games. If they can win in the ILH D-II semifinals, that adds a game, and if they can win the ILH title, that’s a route to the state tourney. If not for a cancelled game due to Hurricane Iselle, it all could’ve added up to a max of 12 games. The math on 12 games at this rate is Xbox-ish to say the least.
I’m pretty sure all of the ‘Pack would sacrifice stats for a chance to win the league and state titles, but for watchers and fans, this is amazing stuff.
