Zereian Quarles Turns in Season-Best Performance

Quarles rushed for 308 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 17.1 yards per carry, and also picked up 47 receiving yards and a touchdown, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. His longest rush was for an incredible 83 yards.
The win (which was Pebble Hills' third in a row) raised their record to 4-3. Quarles and Pebble Hills will square off against Socorro at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday.
