Pollay is on a roll when it comes to rushing yards, as he's now rushed for 100 or more in the last nine games he's played.
On the other side of the ball, a lot of the credit has to go to Imagine Prep's defense and their ten sacks. It was a group effort, with three picking up two apiece.

That said, the team wasn't facing the toughest opposition over that stretch, as it included 0-4 South Pointe and 3-4 Imagine Prep Superstition (their opponents had an average overall winning percentage of 37.5% over those games). As for El Dorado, their loss ended a three-game streak of away wins and brought them to 5-3.
