Martin Came Up Big in Mount Airy's 28-13 Victory
Mount Airy picked up their 23rd consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Taeshon Martin. Martin was unstoppable, rushing for 182 yards and a touchdown while picking up 8.7 yards per carry. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his seventh straight game with at least 116 rushing yards dating back to last season.
If the past is any indication, Martin could be in store for another big game when he takes on South Stokes on Friday. Martin rushed for 99 yards and a touchdown the last time he and the Sauras duked it out back in October of 2023.
