Guesman无毛视频檚 week: Guesman exploded for 285 rushing yards and a school-record seven touchdowns on 38 carries in Albert Gallatin无毛视频檚 63-56 victory over Allegany in Cumberland, Maryland on Friday night. The Colonials, who rushed for 484 yards as a team, improved to 6-0 and have won nine consecutive games dating back to the 2024 season. It无毛视频檚 the longest active winning streak among area teams. Guesman scored on runs of 11, 17 and 14 yards in the first quarter, 17 yards in the third quarter and 37, 6 and 2 yards in the fourth quarter. 无毛视频淚 never scored three touchdowns in one quarter before,无毛视频� Guesman said. 无毛视频淚 had a feeling after my second touchdown that it was going to be a great night for me and my teammates. They just kept giving me the ball and I just kept trying to do what I usually do.无毛视频� What Guesman usually does is run hard between the tackles. 无毛视频淲e couldn无毛视频檛 get outside on them, they were guarding that so I just felt like it was on me to keep running strong inside and that was working the whole night.无毛视频� The Colonials needed every one of Guesman无毛视频檚 scores to win. 无毛视频淚 was getting nervous because our defense was having trouble getting stops. I knew we just had to keep scoring, too.无毛视频�
Final TD: With Albert Gallatin holding a 56-49 lead and close to scoring again late in the game, a discussion occurred with AG head coach Drew Dindl. 无毛视频淢y teammate, Adam Pegg, said I tied the record and needed one more touchdown to break it,无毛视频� Guesman said. 无毛视频淎t first I asked Coach, can I get it? But then I thought that无毛视频檚 maybe selfish of me so then I told him we should just kneel on it. But they still had timeouts left so then Coach said go for it.无毛视频� Guesman scored his last TD with 1:10 left. Allegany scored again with 23 seconds left and with no timeouts left went for an onside kick that was recovered by AG无毛视频檚 Aidan Garcia to seal the win.
Collision course: The 6-foot, 205-pound Guesman doesn无毛视频檛 often look to put moves on defenders. 无毛视频淚t无毛视频檚 natural to me to fight for yards,无毛视频� he said. 无毛视频淪ometimes Coach tells me just go down when they无毛视频檙e all over you but I hate to do that. I just hold the ball with two hands and keep pushing until I can无毛视频檛 go any more. I love contact so those collisions don无毛视频檛 bother me at all.无毛视频� Guesman has help getting to the second level of defenses and that was no different against the Campers. 无毛视频淚 wouldn无毛视频檛 have gotten seven touchdowns without my offensive line. They open the holes to get me through that first wave every game.无毛视频�
Looking for 10-0: Guesman is aware the Colonials have a shot at an undefeated season. 无毛视频淭hat would mean a lot to us,无毛视频� Guesman said. 无毛视频淥ne thing about us is our chemistry is great this year and that helps a lot. I think the older guys, the juniors and seniors realize what we无毛视频檙e doing for this program this year. We无毛视频檒l text in a group chat and talk about stuff like that. A lot of people have put us down before but I think this year we无毛视频檙e showing everyone, hey, we have a really good team.无毛视频�

The Colonials rely on an array of runners that also includes Pegg, Roman Smith and Clayton Bolinger along with quarterback Bronx Jamison who runs the show and keeps defense无毛视频檚 honest with a surprise pass now and then, often for big plays. 无毛视频淥ur starting team is the closest 11 guys you无毛视频檒l ever meet,无毛视频� Guesman said. 无毛视频淲e pick each other up. We don无毛视频檛 have any jealousy. We just have a good mix of guys.无毛视频�
Starting out: 无毛视频淚 started playing football when I was in the third grade,无毛视频� said Guesman who is the 17-year-old son of Bruce and Jennifer Guesman. 无毛视频淲e used to live in Greensburg but then we moved here when I was in sixth grade. When I first started I played on the line. Then in sixth grade they put me at quarterback and I played there throughout middle school and my freshman and sophomore years. Then my junior year I switched to running back. I like that a lot better. That无毛视频檚 my favorite position.无毛视频�
Caring coaches: Guesman has a strong relationship with the AG coaching staff. 无毛视频淐oach Drew has brought me a long way,无毛视频� he said. 无毛视频淗e was always there for me. All my coaches were there if I wasn无毛视频檛 doing well or was down. I think we have a really good coaching staff and they无毛视频檝e done a lot for me and our whole team.无毛视频�
Siblings aplenty: Guesman is part of a huge family. 无毛视频淭hirteen siblings, I无毛视频檓 one of the youngest out of the three 17-year-olds,无毛视频� he said. 无毛视频淲e无毛视频檙e all adopted. I have three sisters and the rest are boys. There are four kids and my two parents in the house now, the others are older. I know all of them pretty well but sometimes I无毛视频檒l forget their birthdays and maybe send them a late birthday text. I无毛视频檓 thankful for my parents, especially for my dad. I wouldn无毛视频檛 be where I am today without him.无毛视频�
Odds and ends: Guesman plays two fall sports. 无毛视频淚无毛视频檓 a starter on the soccer team, too,无毛视频� he said. 无毛视频淚无毛视频檝e been playing soccer since eighth grade.无毛视频� He also intends to run track in the spring. 无毛视频� Tee is short for Talysian. 无毛视频淧eople call me Tee because they can无毛视频檛 say my name,无毛视频� Guesman said. 无毛视频� He would like to play football in college. 无毛视频淲aynesburg gave me, Adam, CJ Colgan and J.J. Perrine a game-day visit and Fairmont State sent me an invitation for that. We无毛视频檒l see what happens.无毛视频�
