Seven TDs! Half Moon Bay running back has game for ages to beat Foothill

PLEASANTON – Adler Halterman’s chest was heaving as he gasped for air, and his legs burned from fatigue while he lined up behind the left tackle and tight end on Friday night in Half Moon Bay’s “Jumbo” formation.

But standing on both the brink of exhaustion and only two yards from the end zone, with all 11 Foothill defenders and every spectator knowing he’d get the ball, nothing would stop the senior running back from his 31st carry.

He dived in to the end zone for his school-record seventh touchdown run of the game.
