Alston and his teammates had a rough time against Bishop McDevitt in their season opener, but they bounced back with a big win against Bergen Catholic (NJ). Alston rushed for 145 yards and one touchdown. He’s a tough runner for his size between the tackles, and that’s evident on his 19-yard touchdown run, where he runs through 2-3 tackles before muscling in at the goal line. Alston is consistent when it comes to getting yards after contact.

Alston had a solid start to his career as a freshman. He carried the football 127 times for 429 yards and four touchdowns. He was able to get his feet wet and taste what it’s like to play in one of the toughest leagues, the WCAC Capital Division. What he does in between now and the start of next season will determine how much of a leap he makes on the field.

Paul has bursted on to the scene these recent weeks and has become Good Counsel’s top performing RB. With breakout games against Columbus (OH) and Middletown (DE), he showed why he is a star RB in the making. In the Middletown game he had 75yds and 2 rushing TDs on 6.3 ypc. For the year he’s totaled 194 rushing yds. 3 TDs on a strong 5.2 ypc. He’s got a nice compact build with a strong lower half. Showing nice vision, patience & burst the LOS to hit the hole and get up field. Once in the open field Paul runs hard, with good pad level and keeping his legs churning. Not easy to bring down while also being nimble with good feet and a low center of gravity. Alston can handle the load of being an every down RB and I expect him to only get stronger in his production as the year goes on.
