It wasn’t until recently that Jalen Brice could grip a football, let alone step under center for Monessen.
The senior has been recovering from a broken thumb the last few weeks and finally returned to his role as the starting quarterback Friday night.
Still feeling the effects of the injury, Brice persevered by throwing for nearly 200 yards and a pair of touchdowns while adding two rushing scores in Monessen’s 48-14 victory over Avella in Tri-County South Conference play on senior night at Memorial Stadium.
“He’s a Greyhound and he has heart like a Greyhound,” Monessen head coach Mikey Blainefield. “I think he could have played in any era, and that makes him special.”
