Harman Made His Presence Known in Everett's 28-27 Loss
Everett had to settle for second on Friday, but Jakobe Harman sure wasn't going down easily. Nobody could stop Harman as he rushed for 245 yards and two touchdowns.
Harman is probably looking forward to his next game, a road matchup against Claysburg-Kimmel on Friday. When Harman last faced the Bulldogs back in October of 2023, he rushed for 149 yards.
