Big Game from Al-Jassim As Chester Won 41-0
Zain Al-Jassim's big game helped extend Chester's winning streak to six on Friday. Nobody could stop Al-Jassim as he threw for 265 yards and three touchdowns while completing 92.9% of his passes, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground. The dominant performance also gave him a new career-high in rushing yards.
Al-Jassim is probably looking forward to his next game, a home matchup against Dupo on Friday. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Al-Jassim saw the Tigers), he threw for 294 yards and three touchdowns on only ten passes, and also punched in a rushing score.
