One of his touchdowns came on a 99-yard sprint in the third quarter. He also had a touchdown run of over 50 yards on a reverse handoff.
Head coach, Noah Lampkins said his young running back had multiple runs of 30 and 40 yards.
“He took one 99 yards and you cannot run one any further than that,” Lampkins said. “He did a great job for us.”
Lampkins said Donavan Foley played a good game on offensive and gave a lot of credit to his entire offensive line with the run blocking.
