A Season-Best Performance from Zavious Chineth Leads Northfield over Thomas Jefferson
Northfield was led to victory by Zavious Chineth, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Saturday. Chineth rushed for 202 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 12.6 yards per carry, and also threw for 57 yards and a touchdown, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He showed off some serious burst, turning on the afterburners on one carry for 55 yards.
On the season, Chineth has run in 8 touchdowns while averaging 141.5 rushing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after six games last season, he had four rushing touchdowns.
