Kahmaj Kearney Turns in Season-Best Performance
Smyrna was led to victory by Kahmaj Kearney, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Kearney rushed for 185 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 7.1 yards per carry, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
Kearney must have Caesar Rodney's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Kearney rushed for 31 yards and three touchdowns, and also picked up 66 receiving yards the last time he and the Riders duked it out back in October of 2023.
