A big crowd and national television audience converged at Owen Owens Field on Friday night to watch the nation’s No. 1 recruit, Antioch senior running back Najee Harris.
De La Salle’s Kairee Robinson, a 5-foot-8, 185-pound junior often compared to the former NFL and Spartans’ great, rushed 34 times for 307 yards and three touchdowns as his team held on for a 28-21 home victory in a nonleague game.
Sophomore quarterback Willem Karnthong, who threw for 153 yards, fired one completion to Harris, but his final Hail Mary attempt fell incomplete, and the top-ranked Spartans (4-1) extended their unbeaten streak against Northern California opponents to 274 games.
Antioch (3-2), ranked ninth by The Chronicle, was led by senior receiver Isaiah Dunn, who made a spectacular 30-yard touchdown reception and had a 95-yard kickoff return for another score.
Harris did break a 47-yard touchdown run down the right sideline midway through the third quarter, but it was wiped out by a holding penalty.
The Mustangs scored 10 points inside the final three minutes to earn the comeback victory over the host Grizzlies in a battle of East Bay Athletic League unbeatens.
Peyton Henry hit a 28-yard, game-winning field goal with 1.2 seconds left.
Aragon, which was without the services of standout running back V.A. Wilson (knee), was led by quarterback Gabe Campos, who went 12-for-22 for 187 yards and a touchdown pass to Antonio Sandoval.
Alton Julian returned an interception 37 yards with 6:26 left for the game-winning touchdown.
Jonathan Pierce passed for 197 yards and four touchdowns, and Ronnie Rivers had 204 yards of total offense (131 rushing) and three touchdowns as the Falcons (5-0) cruised to the nonleague road win.
