Dylan Johnston was another key player, gaining 86 total yards and a touchdown.
Basalt didn't let much get past them through the air: they limited Aspen to a completion percentage of just 46.7%. That dominant aerial defense primarily came from five players: Tarallo, Sam Volf, Dylan Ferreira, Kayden Santigo, and Parker Sims, who each logged two passes deflected. Basalt hasn't an opponent to post a completion percentage of 0.46 or higher in four consecutive games.
Meanwhile, Strasburg blew past Bennett, posting a 58-12 victory. Given the Indians' advantage in MaxPreps' Colorado football rankings (they are ranked 49th, while the Tigers are ranked 177th) , the win on Friday wasn't entirely unexpected.
