Rima helps Prairie race by Burlington

As a publicity stunt (and to make money), the great Olympic sprinter Jessie Owens sometimes ran against race horses.

On the football field Friday night, Prairie’s unstoppable Jalen Rima out-ran a pack of Grayhounds not once, but several times, to lead his team to a much-needed 57-7 shellacking of District 6 foe Burlington.

Rima, a multi-sport star senior still deciding on college, scored three times on two long pass plays and a long run.

In the first half alone, as the Hawks built a 43-7 margin and coasted the rest of the way under a continuous clock, the lanky speedster accounted for 224 yards on just three rushes and three pass receptions.
