Jalen Williams' brother was pretty clear on what the Larkin running back should do once he got the ball.

Will Carter, who played in the Royals' backfield in 2006, told his younger brother to make a single cut and head up the field.

Williams, on his brother's advice, did just that for the tune of 303 yards on 25 carries to go along with 3 touchdowns on Friday night. Williams rushed for 285 yards by the end of the first half as Larkin downed Streamwood 47-6 for a homecoming Upstate Eight Conference victory.

"Last year, I was a little shaky," said Williams, who rushed for touchdowns of 65, 35 and 67 yards in the game and now has 1,315 rushing yards for the season. "(This year) I like making my cuts fast and hard. I just like stopping on the point. I don't slip too much."

Williams kept his footing on a slippery Memorial Field, but was aided from some run block support. Larkin coach Matt Gehrig said he wanted to keep play calling simple, which included several runs behind tight end Alex Wahl and tackle Cody Schue.

"The main thing that we wanted to do, especially with the field like this, is run basic plays," Gehrig said. "(Fullback Sylvester) Smith had a lot of key lead blocks."
