This season is back to the future for Crown Point sophomore Max Gurnic.

The 6-foot-1, 195-pounder had been a running back until he shifted to safety last year. But he is flourishing in his return to those roots.

“It feels really good to have a role as a young player,” Gurnic said. “Hopefully I’ll have that role for the next two, three years.”

On Friday night, Gurnic rushed for 115 yards and two touchdowns on 11 carries as the visiting Bulldogs won 48-10 against Chesterton to clinch a share of their fourth consecutive Duneland Athletic Conference title.

“My offensive line blocked great, the H-backs, everybody, so they opened up holes for me,” he said. “I just tried to use my speed to get through there and stay on my feet.”
