Cade Hemphill was his usual excellent self, rushing for 237 yards and three TDs while picking up 13.9 yards per carry, and also catching one touchdown. Those 237 rushing yards gave him a new career-high. Brody Hopwood was another key player, throwing for 154 yards and four touchdowns.
Meanwhile, Basalt was fully in charge on Friday, breezing past Aspen 49-21. The Longhorns pushed the score to 49-14 by the end of the third, a deficit the Skiers cut but never quite recovered from.
Strasburg better keep an eye on Will Tarallo. He was instrumental in Basalt's win, rushing for 147 yards and four scores while picking up 8.6 yards per carry, and also picking up 30 receiving yards. Tarallo is becoming a predictor of the Longhorns' success: when he posts at least 80 rushing yards the team is undefeated (and 2-3 when he doesn't). Another player making a difference was Dylan Johnston, who gained 86 total yards and a touchdown.
Basalt didn't let much get past them through the air: they limited Aspen to a completion percentage of just 46.7%. That dominant aerial defense primarily came from five players: Tarallo, Sam Volf, Dylan Ferreira, Kayden Santigo, and Parker Sims, who each logged two passes deflected. Basalt hasn't an opponent to post a completion percentage of 0.46 or higher in four consecutive contests.
Strasburg's record is now 9-0. As for Basalt, their record now sits at 6-3.
