Zereian Quarles Delivers Best Performance of Season
On Friday, Pebble Hills got the W thanks in part to Zereian Quarles playing the best football he has all season. Quarles rushed for 308 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 17.1 yards per carry, and also picked up 47 receiving yards and a touchdown, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 83-yard run.
The win (which was Pebble Hills' third in a row) raised their record to 4-3. Quarles and Pebble Hills will take on Socorro at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday.
