Aloha is off to its only 7-0 start since 2004 thanks in large part to the dominant play of running back Thomas Tyner, who just decommitted from Oregon. A top contender for National Player of the Year accolades, Tyner made headlines when he ran for 643 yards and 10 touchdowns in a 84-63 win over Lakeridge (Lake Oswego) on Sept. 14. For the season, he already has 2,325 yards on just 183 carries (12.71 average) with 30 touchdowns total and is the No. 10 prospect overall in the MaxPreps

But the Crusaders (5-2) have lost two of their last four games, including a 26-21 defeat against Southridge (Beaverton) last week when Jesuit surrendered 26 straight points after opening a 14-0 lead late in the first half. Jesuit hopes to get its season back on track with a win against Aloha, a team it has beaten seven times in the last eight years, including 28-0 shutout last season.
