Big Game from Belcher As Woodmont Fell 49-21

His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his fourth straight game with at least 118 rushing yards dating back to last season.
Woodmont is on a three-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 1-4. Belcher and Woodmont will face off against Greenwood at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday.

Easley was sadly handed a loss on Friday, but Aaron Tolbert did his best to prevent it. Tolbert turned in nothing short of a gem, making a tackle.
Easley's defeat was their third straight at home, which dropped their record down to 1-4. Tolbert and Easley will head out to take on Hillcrest at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday.

Na'cyus Morrison Makes It Two for J.L. Mann
Keeping Martin company is Na'Cyus Morrison, a fellow J.L. Mann player. He rushed for 40 yards and two touchdowns.
If history really does repeat itself, Morrison might just drop another big game when he faces off against T.L. Hanna on Friday. When Morrison last faced the Yellow Jackets back in October of 2023, he rushed for 70 yards and two touchdowns on only eight carries.
