Published 10:30 pm Friday, September 11, 2015

Blooming Prairie senior Anthony Nelson had a night he probably won’t forget any time soon as the Awesome Blossoms blasted Janesville-Waldorf-Pemberton 39-23 in Janesville Friday.

Nelson racked up 205 yards of offense and two TDs and he also tallied 19 tackles on the defensive side of the ball.

“As good a game as Anthony had offensively, he was just as good defensively. He did a great job getting to their running back and stopping him,” BP head coach Chad Gimbel said. “Teams know how our go to guy is. We’re still trying to find ways to get [Nelson] touches. All of our seniors really stepped up. You’ve got to give our offensive line credit.”
