Prolific senior runs for three scores as Falcons easily win Division III
RUNNING BACK Darnell Miller dives for a touchdown during his 190-yard day in a 35-6 win over Hawkins.
STEVE GALLUZZO For The Times
Friday was just another day at the office for Darnell Miller.
Santee's senior running back arrived on time, rushed for 190 yards and three touchdowns, and clocked out early as the Falcons soared past Hawkins 35-6 to win the City Section Division III championship at Birmingham High.
Watching from the sideline, as he does almost every game, was Darnell's 10-year-old brother, Frederick, a fifth-grader at Twenty-Eighth Street Elementary who Darnell picks up from school and brings to practice every day.
"What I love most about this sport is all the friends I've made.... I'm a shy person, but it's made me more vocal, taught me discipline and to take care of my responsibilities," said Miller, who likes football best despite also playing guard on the basketball team in the winter and running for the track team in the spring. "I just do what I do. This is my last year, so I want to finish strong."
