Josiah Hill Turns in Season-Best Performance
On Friday, Kings Mountain got the W thanks in part to Josiah Hill playing the best football he has all season. Hill wasn't messing around, rushing for 141 yards and four touchdowns. The match was his fourth straight with two or more rushing touchdowns dating back to last season.
Hill must have Forestview's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Hill rushed for 145 yards and two touchdowns on only nine carries the last time he and the Jaguars duked it out back in September of 2023.
