A Season-Best Performance from Jusyis Solis Leads Aquinas over Ontario Christian
On Friday, Aquinas got the W thanks in part to Jusyis Solis playing the best football he has all season. Solis picked up 93 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 52 yards and a touchdown on only six carries. The performance marked the most rushing yards he has had since back in October of 2023. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, forcing a fumble and making five total tackles (1.0 for loss).
Solis must have Ontario Christian's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Solis rushed for 231 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 8.6 yards per carry, and also caught a touchdown the last time he and the Knights duked it out back in October of 2023.
