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 got the majority of those receiving yards when he pulled down a pass and took off for a gain of 55 yards.
This 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 had three rushing touchdowns. This year he is already up to eight.
