Arlington Heights extended their winning streak to three on Friday, bumping them up to 9-1. They blew past the Paschal Panthers, posting a 45-14 victory. Considering the Yellowjackets have won eight games by more than 25 points this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.
Carson James had another great game (as he tends to do), rushing for 215 yards and five TDs while picking up 9.3 yards per carry. James is crushing it when it comes to rushing yards: he's rushed for at least 124 every time he's taken the field this season. Carmelo Carter also helped out as he racked up 111 rushing yards.
They were just one part of a punishing run game: Arlington Heights was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 355 rushing yards. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now rushed for at least 212 rushing yards every time they've taken the field this season.
On the other side of the ball, a lot of the credit has to go to Arlington Heights' defense and their eight sacks. It was truly a group effort as Carter James, Dino Walker, and Isaiah Schuman picked up two apiece. Arlington Heights got some further help from Caynan James: he picked up a sack and made nine total tackles (3.0 for loss).
As for Paschal, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost three of their last four matchups. That's put a noticeable dent in their 6-4 record this season. The contest marked their lowest-scoring game so far this season.
When it comes to explaining why Paschal lost, don't look at Jashaun Thomas. Despite the final result, he threw for 125 yards and one touchdown, and also punched in one score on the ground. Thomas' passing game has become a key predictor of the Panthers' success: the team is 5-2 when his passer rating is 100 or higher, but only 1-2 otherwise. Paschal also got a significant boost from Truman Shelton, who ran away from the competition to the tune of 89 yards.
Coming up, Arlington Heights will welcome Brewer at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. That matchup will pit two of the most dominant backs against one another: James and Kameron Coleman. Paschal does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
