Photo by Stephanie Burgoon/Alaska Sports Report</figcaption></figure>A three-prong rushing attack of Ethan Yarrington, Frederick Lefano and Bryson Jackson flexed its strength early and often Friday to power the South Anchorage football team’s 52-14 win over visiting Dimond.All three ballcarriers scored touchdowns in the first quarter and surpassed the 100-yard benchmark on a night when the ground game chewed up 456 yards behind a dominant offensive line that opened holes big enough for a truck to drive through.Yarrington scored three TDs and led the way with 133 yards, while Lefano finished with 131 and Jackson 106. Lefano broke off a 75-yard scoring run and averaged 32 yards per carry, and Jackson also threw for a pair of scores.At one point in the first quarter South scored three times on four touches to build a 19-0 lead, and the Wolverines never looked back, snapping a two-game losing streak and maintaining their second-place standing in the Cook Inlet Conference heading into Week 6.<blockquote>Prep Football</blockquote>CIC TEAM OVERALL4-0 West Anchorage 4-13-1 Juneau-Douglas 4-13-1 Colony 3-23-1 South Anchorage 3-21-3 Bartlett 2-31-3 Service 2-31-3 East Anchorage 1-40-4 Dimond 1-4<blockquote>FridaySouth 52, Dimond 14East 14, Bartlett 8West 20, Service 0Juneau 41, Colony 27 </blockquote>The South defense was just as impressive, hounding Dimond quarterback Braden Pili all night and sacking him five times. Yarrington and Austin Duffus grabbed interceptionsSouth was gifted fabulous field possession on its second drive after Dimond snapped the ball over Pili’s head, leading to a mad scramble for the ball. The Wolverines recovered and two plays later led 6-0 after Yarrington walked in from the 2.After a Dimond punt gave the ball back to South, it didn’t take long for the Wolverines to strike again. Jackson, the quarterback, ran for 14 yards on the first play before taking a bootleg to the house on a 56-yard sprint. Another Dimond punt led to another short South scoring drive after Lefano busted up the middle and outraced a defender for the final 60 yards as the lead swelled to 19-0.Yarrington found the end zone twice in the second quarter on runs of 40 and 20 yards. Six of his 11 carries went for double digits, and he had another carry for 9 yards. The 220-pounder stands tall when he’s running through the line, brushing off tacklers and dragging dudes for extra yards.<figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=1MIOsf_1F5bazc100" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=1MIOsf_1F5bazc100" width="1024" height="683" ><figcaption>South quarterback Bryson Jackson accounted for three scores. Photo by Stephanie Burgoon/Alaska Sports Report</figcaption></figure>Jackson used play action to set up the passing game, with both completions going for TDs. In the third quarter, he found DeShaun Davis for a 27-yard catch-and-run during which Davis stiff-armed a defender at the 10 to create enough space for him to sneak in along the sideline. In the fourth quarter, he connected with Lincoln Marchant on 2nd-and-goal from the 10.Jackson began the season as South’s backup quarterback but was called into action in Week 3 after starter Kyler Jensen went down with a tailbone injury. It’s been a little touch and go for Jackson, who is learning on the job. But he’s come into his own the last few weeks and is playing with more poise (not to mentioning taking care of the ball better).On Friday, Jackson amassed 228 all-purpose yards and didn’t commit a turnover. He also had two 40-plus-yard kickoff returns and provided pass coverage as a defensive back.Dimond was dynamite on special teams after averaging 36.4 yards on five kickoff returns, including a 54-yard return from DJ Evans and a 42-yard return from Kaiden Graterix.Evans and Graterix were also favorite targets of Pili, who completed 11-of-18 passes to those two, with Evans catching six balls for 63 yards and Graterix hauling in five for 37 yards. Pili finished with 227 yards of total offense and had a hand in both TDs.Dimond 0 7 0 7 – 14South Anchorage 19 19 7 7 – 52FIRST QUARTERSouth – Yarrington 2 run (kick missed), 7:44South – Jackson 56 run (Willis kick), 5:32South – Lefano 75 run (kick missed), 2:46SECOND QUARTERSouth – Yarrington 40 run (Walters kick), 8:59Dimond – Pili 6 run (VanZant kick), 6:02South – Yarrington 20 run (kick missed), 0:53South – Davis 27 pass from Jackson (kick missed), 0:16THIRD QUARTERSouth – Marchant 10 pass from Jackson (Willis kick), 6:27FOURTH QUARTERDimond – Graterix 13 pass from Pili (VanZant kick), 11:54South – Dudley 13 run (Willis kick), 4:07INDIVIDUAL STATISTICSRUSHINGDimond – Pili 4-33, Evans 2-15, Graterix 2-1, Sila 1-(-4).
