Ashton Allen Delivers Best Performance of Season
Ashton Allen produced his most outstanding game to date while leading New Albany to the win on Friday. Allen rushed for 147 yards and a touchdown on only eight carries, and also picked up 31 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 impressive 56 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
On the year, Allen has caught 2 touchdowns while averaging 16.5 receiving yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had three rushing touchdowns. This year he is already up to six.
