A Season-Best Effort from Dean Paris Leads Johnston over Pilgrim

Paris rushed for 176 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 7.0 yards per carry, and also picked up 57 receiving yards and a touchdown, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
Paris and Johnston will be playing at home against Classical at 6:00 p.m. on Friday. Paris will face off against Jordan Duke, the Purple's star RB. Will the contest be decided in the trenches? We'll have our answer very soon.
