And after Eli Wells boots a field goal then kicks off, his work isn’t done. He also plays nose guard for the Mustangs defense.
Wells saw plenty of the field during Mountain Crest’s 17-7 win over Stansbury in Thursday’s Class 4A state semifinal.
“I was there for my teammates, and they just keep me going,” said Wells after his team clinched a spot in the state championship game. “I give all I got every down. If it gets me tired, I just try to play through it.”
Wells does get a modicum of rest on defense because he’s part of a rotation.
