The final run of Mitch Pelroy is going quite well.
The Coupeville High School grad, who’s playing his senior season at Montana Western, put together his second straight week of gridiron excellence.
Pelroy returned four kickoffs for 110 yards, with a long return of 44 yards, and collected six tackles, two assists and a sack Saturday as the Bulldogs destroyed Montana State-Northern 50-6.
The win snaps a two-game skid for Montana Western and lifts its record to 3-2 overall, 2-2 in the Frontier Conference.
Saturday’s performance comes on the heels of a game a week ago, when Pelroy collected 88 yards on three returns and made seven tackles against Southern Oregon.
With six regular-season college football games left in his career, Pelroy is on the cusp of breaking 1,000 career return yards.
In 32 games played from 2013-2016, he’s rolled up 934 yards in kickoff returns and 59 in punt returns, for 993 combined yards.
Pelroy has also collected 53 tackles, 14 assists, two sacks and six broken-up passes while playing in the Bulldog secondary.
