Al-Jassim threw for 265 yards and three touchdowns while completing 91.7% of his passes, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground, good enough to also set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.

Kolton Jany and Co. Win Eighth in a Row
Chester picked up their eighth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Kolton Jany. Jany did his part (and then some), rushing for 63 yards and a touchdown, while also picking up 75 receiving yards for the 'W'. He showed off some serious burst, lighting up the secondary with a catch for 55 yards.
For the season, Jany has caught 2 touchdowns while averaging 41.4 receiving yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 44.88 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 81.13 rushing yards.
