The Alemany football team has rushed for 867 yards in its last two games, including 510 yards in a 45-35 Mission League win over Bishop Amat Friday night.
Senior running back tandem Floyd Chalk and Jaylen Thompson ran for 260 and 186 yards, respectively. Chalk scored three touchdowns before Thompson punched in Alemany’s (4-3, 2-0 Mission) last touchdown to ice the game with just over two minutes to play.
Alemany’s offensive line made up of Aitor Urionbarrenechea, Samiuela Palu, Trey Brooks, Sam Sefa, and Siasi Tapaatoutai deserve a ton of credit.
