Accomplishment: Milliner is now a three-time Pasadena Sports Now AOW, thanks to his remarkable 342 yards rushing on 33 carries, and four touchdown runs in Friday’s 55-28 Angelus League victory over Harvard-Westlake. Milliner and AJ Akobian combined for almost 500 yards and 7 TDs. The star senior now has 1,881 yards on the ground through nine games, he’s scored 20 touchdowns and is averaging 209 yards rushing each week. La Salle now has back-to-back Angelus League victories after having lost 12 in a row. The Lancers are primed for a deep playoff run in the CIF-SS Division 9 bracket.
Quotable:
La Salle coach Russell Gordon: “Amon is a phenomenal athlete and an equally great kid. We like to say, ‘give the ball to number 5 and he’ll keep us alive.’ He is one of the top running backs in the entire San Gabriel Valley, if not the best. He’ll do anything we ask of him and wants to do anything he can to help this team wins games.”
