A Season-Best Performance from Cooper Hinton Leads Greenfield-Central over Delta
Cooper Hinton produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Greenfield-Central to the win on Friday. Hinton picked up three sacks and made ten total tackles.

The second Greenfield-Central player making an appearance here is Dallas Freeman, and for good reason. He rushed for 67 yards and two touchdowns, and also threw for 166 yards and two touchdowns while completing 72.7% of his passes.
