An 18-yard completion with a defender draped around his legs. A 29-yard run on which he reversed field and broke multiple tackles. A 56-yard pass for a touchdown.

Those were just a sampling of the plays SMB Jalen Suggs made during the Wolfpack’s 48-29 victory over Chisago Lakes on Saturday in the Class 4A quarterfinal at Centennial High School.


Suggs

Suggs, a senior quarterback who’s among the top-ranked high school basketball players in the Class of 2020, accounted for five scores, including four in the first half. That included a 20-yard completion to Terry Lockett on fourth-and-19 and the 56-yard touchdown pass, caught by Savion Robinson.

“We were just playing solid, finding the open man, seeing the gaps in the defense and taking advantage of it,” Suggs said. “We were playing just really simple football, and it was working for us."
