His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his sixth straight game with at least 131 rushing yards dating back to last season.
The win (which was Carmi-White County's third in a row) raised their record to 6-1. Pollard's next game is against Eldorado on Friday, where he'll look to repeat that solid performance.
