Will Tarallo continued his habit of posting crazy stat lines, rushing for 147 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 8.6 yards per carry, and also picking up 30 receiving yards. He is on a roll when it comes to rushing touchdowns, as he's now punched in two or more in each of the last five games he's played. 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.
Basalt better keep an eye on Cade Hemphill. He was instrumental in Strasburg's win, rushing for 237 yards and three scores while picking up 13.9 yards per carry, and also catching one TD. Hemphill really tore up the turf during one magnificent 71-yard run. Another player making a difference was Brody Hopwood, who threw for 154 yards and four touchdowns.
Basalt's record now sits at 6-3. As for Strasburg, their record is now 9-0.
