Chester Gets a Boost from Al-Jassim in 41-0 Victory
Zain Al-Jassim was instrumental in extending Chester's winning streak to six on Friday. Al-Jassim did his part (and then some), throwing for 265 yards and three touchdowns while completing 92.9% of his passes, and also punching in a touchdown on the ground for the 'W'. The dominant performance also gave him a new career-high in rushing yards.
If history really does repeat itself, Al-Jassim might just drop another big game when he faces off against Dupo on Friday. When Al-Jassim last faced the Tigers back in October of 2023, he threw for 294 yards and three touchdowns on only ten passes, and also punched in a rushing score.
