The junior rushed for 526 yards on 35 carries with seven touchdowns which is good for the 3A record and second in state history. Love is a multi-sport athlete and excels in his other sports. He placed second in 110M hurdles in the 2024 3A state finals in track and field. He is in his third season on varsity with head coach Anfernee Sloan, who pulled him up as a freshman. Love's rushing yards added to the Vaqueros 727 rushing yards during their win against Lowry.Quote to note: "When something like that happens right on a football field, it's a pretty remarkable thing. I kind of sat back that night because I don't think he necessarily realized what he did and I reflected on that night and I was just like, 'oh my.' That's a once in a lifetime thing. Everybody here in this (Fernley) community is very passionate about that young man because he does do a lot for the football program. And not just the football program, it's the wrestling team. He's a very good athlete there. He ran for two state titles (in track and field) and the last two years, he was the runner-up. You watch him in the school and the way that he communicates with the instructors and the admin, he's got a good relationship with everybody." — Anfernee Sloan, Vaqueros head coachWatch the full feature on Keeshawn Love below.</div></body>
