Male Area Athlete of the Week: Foust scores 3 touchdowns in section final

PIERZ — Brayden Foust is tough to tackle. The Pierz senior running back ran for 208 yards and three touchdowns on nine carries to help the Pioneers win the Section 7-3A title for the second consecutive season Thursday, Nov. 5. Foust also recorded one of five Pierz interceptions as Pierz knocked off Pequot Lakes 54-15. “Brayden is a gamebreaker,” Pierz head coach Danny Saehr said. “He’s working really hard to get to where he is at. He’s been a three-year starter for us and played in big games. He is the center of attention for anyone when they play us and he gets better every single week.” The Pioneers opened the game with a three-and-out on their first drive. After a punt, Foust intercepted Pequot Lakes quarterback Eli Martini on the next play and returned it to the 20. “Brayden is a big part of our defense,” Saehr said. “There are a number of kids back there that are good athletes and our secondary would compliment our linebackers and defensive ends for getting pressure.
