Chester Gets a Boost from Al-Jassim in 41-0 Victory
Chester picked up their sixth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Zain Al-Jassim. Al-Jassim was unstoppable, throwing for 265 yards and three touchdowns while completing 92.9% of his passes, and also punching in a touchdown on the ground. The dominant performance also gave him a new career-high in rushing yards.
If history really does repeat itself, Al-Jassim might just drop another big game when he faces off against Dupo on Friday. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Al-Jassim saw the Tigers), he threw for 294 yards and three touchdowns on only ten passes, and also punched in a rushing score.
