Alijah Cason gets his first step and reaction to the gun at the start of a race
Alijah Cason of Dallas First Baptist Academy had a year to remember; actually, he had two seasons to remember.
As a standout wide receiver helping First Baptist to a 13-0 season, he totaled 81 receptions for 1708 yards - and 35 touchdowns. Yes, you read that correctly. He scored 35 touchdowns last season through the air, and now he'll attend Holy Cross to continue his athletic career, which may include Track & Field.
On the track and the field, he helped First Baptist to back-to-back TAPPS 2A State titles, along the way earning 2A Male Athlete of the meet accolades. He won the 100 (11.01), 200 (22.61), and Long Jump (23-03.25.)
