Meet Dietrich Riley. Remember his name. You will undoubtedly hear it a lot over the next three years.

The sophomore running back/defensive back had a 33-yard touchdown run with 9:33 left for the final margine of victory in St. Francis’ upset of visiting Los Altos. But that wasn’t even his best run of the drive. That was a 36-yarder on a reverse that came on second and 20. It was a play designed especially for him.

‘You want the ball in his hands in a situation like that,’ Golden Knights Coach Jim Bonds said.

Riley finished with 163 yards rushing and one touchdown.
