Kimball High’s Rashaad Cooper contributed 126 rushing yards on 11 carries to the North offense. It included a 31-yard first quarter run to set up a one-yard touchdown run for Calaveras High’s Conner Hamilton, who ran the ball for 66 yards on 17 carries. Cooper also scored on a 60-yard touchdown run up the right side in the second quarter.

Here's the front page of that story:
