WATCH: Pulaski Academy RB Joe Himon scores 3 first-half highlight TDs in win over Farmington

The Bruins remain a heavy favorite to win a second consecutive 5A state title thanks in part to Himon's dominance.

Pulaski Academy running back Joe Himon had three touchdowns in the first half of a 51-21 playoff victory over Farmington that was never close.

The first came just over a minute into the game when he broke a couple tackles in the backfield and turned it into a footrace. (He usually wins the footrace.)

Not long after that, he caught a pass from Charlie Fiser with multiple defenders around him. With no room to work with, he created enough space to find the end zone.

#2: He refuses to go down after a red zone reception.
