A Season-Best Effort from Jonathan Williams Leads Havelock over D.H. Conley
On Friday, Havelock got the W thanks in part to Jonathan Williams playing the best football he has all season. Williams picked up 174 receiving yards and two touchdowns, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground. He torched the secondary when he pulled down a catch that went for 72 yards.
D.H. Conley's probably not too fond of Williams given he always seems to get the better of them. When Williams last faced the Vikings back in September of 2023, he rushed for 221 yards and two touchdowns on only 15 carries, and also threw for 100 yards and a touchdown while completing 72.2% of his passes.
