🚨 BACKFIELD INVASION 🚨

Some dudes make plays…
Xzavior Mayo makes offenses uncomfortable. 😤💥

Austintown Fitch’s #23 was a straight-up problem against Boardman, flying around and living in the backfield all night.

🔥 8 total tackles
🔥 4 tackles for loss
🔥 Week 9 defensive standout
🔥 Fitch wins 42-7

That’s pressure.
That’s disruption.
That’s BUILT DIFFERENT. 👑

Salute to Xzavior Mayo for showing exactly what trench warfare looks like. Dawg mentality on full display. 🦍🏈
