Senior standouts [player_tooltip player_id='811154' first='Micah' last='Alejado'] and [player_tooltip player_id='811144' first='Elija' last='Lofton'] led a game-winning drive against #6-ranked Miami Central to go to 3-0 on the season. Sophomore RB [player_tooltip player_id='854252' first='Bronwyn' last='Rios'] continues to dominate the ground game for Reed's offense.</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["811154"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64f8f05493af9"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Alejado led the game-winning TD drive against Central (Miami, FL) in the Gaels' 39-35 victory over the #6 team in the country. He spread the ball around to leading receivers [player_tooltip player_id='811151' first='Audric' last='Harris'] and [player_tooltip player_id='820606' first='Brandon' last='Gaea'] totaling 390 yards and 3 TDs on 20/29 passing. He also showed athleticism and toughness scrambling for 58 yards against a physical Central defense. Bishop Gorman continues it's tough out-of-state schedule with #13-Centennial (Corona, CA) this Friday.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/MaxPreps/status/1697871577130455195?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/MaxPreps/status/1697871577130455195?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["811144"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64f8f05493b80"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Lofton showed his dominant athletic versatility with 3 red-zone rushing TDs and 4 catches for 70 yards and another TD. He punched in the game-winning TD with under a minute left to put Bishop Gorman up 39-35 over Central. The Miami-commit continued to prove that he's an elite offensive weapon with a rare blend of size, athleticism, and body control.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/GabyUrrutia247/status/1697943617984217440?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/GabyUrrutia247/status/1697943617984217440?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["854252"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64f8f05493bf2"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Rios dominated the ground game with 22 rushes for 240 yards and 3 TDs in Reed's 38-24 win over Faith Lutheran. He's a tough, physical runner between the tackles with a bruising downhill running style. He's a difficult ball-carrier to wrap with a strong lower half and powerful leg drive through contact. Rios is one of the top rushers in the state through three games, averaging over 180/ypg with 500+ rushing yards and 5 TDs. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/Bronwyn_Rios14/status/1698228546710491442?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/Bronwyn_Rios14/status/1698228546710491442?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["819533"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64f8f05493c8f"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jackson has steadily led Douglas' rushing attack with 100+ yards in each of his first three games and hit his first 200-yard game of the season in the Tigers' 31-0 win over Spanish Springs last Friday. He's a fluid runner out of the backfield that can play in tight spaces around the LOS and finish with downhill physicality at the second/third levels.

The senior RB totaled 189 yards on 23 carries. He's a compact, shifty back that can elude defenders with lateral agility and bounce off tackles with great contact balance.
