Jonathan Newton Goes Supernova in the Covenant Win
The Covenant picked up their sixth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Jonathan Newton. Newton did his part (and then some), rushing for 75 yards and a touchdown on only nine carries, while also throwing for 46 yards and a touchdown for the 'W'. He didn't just play on offense: he also picked up a sack and made seven total tackles (5.0 for loss).
Unfortunately for Rappahannock County, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Newton. When Newton last faced the back in October of 2023, he rushed for 283 yards and four touchdowns on only 14 carries.
