Big Game from Allison As Sunrise Christian Academy Won 70-6
Sunrise Christian Academy picked up their fifth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Darren Allison. Allison was dynamite, picking up 52 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
On the season, Allison has caught 7 touchdowns while averaging 41.7 receiving yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 21.33 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 37.17 rushing yards.

Amaurie Rusler Makes It Two for Destiny Christian
The second Destiny Christian player making an appearance here is Amaurie Rusler, and for good reason. He rushed for 202 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 7.5 yards per carry.

Jason Ramsey Dazzles in Destiny Christian Victory
Another Destiny Christian player making an appearance on this list is Jason Ramsey. He rushed for 91 yards and two touchdowns on only seven carries, and also threw for 55 yards and two touchdowns on only five passes. He has become a key player for Destiny Christian: the team is 2-1 when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns, but 1-2 otherwise.
Ramsey must have Crossover Prep's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. When Ramsey last faced the Lions back in November of 2023, he threw for 197 yards and three touchdowns while completing 81.8% of his passes, and also rushed for 104 yards and a touchdown.
