Joseph Allen Delivers Best Performance of Season
On Friday, Eau Gallie got the W thanks in part to Joseph Allen playing the best football he has all season. Allen threw for 224 yards and three touchdowns on only 14 passes, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground, good enough to also set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
The win for Eau Gallie keeps them at an undefeated 8-0. Allen and Eau Gallie will have some time to savor their victory since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Melbourne at 7:00 p.m. on November 1st.
