Wins are hard to come by when you can't run the rock, something South Granville proved: they limited Carrboro to a paltry 1.1 yards per carry. The team can thank Tashad Kearney for the heroic effort on defense: he. South Granville's run defense has been on the up-and-up: they allowed 4.13 yards per carry earlier this season, but they've only allowed eight on average over their last five games.

Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Seaforth). They claimed a resounding 53-6 win over Cedar Ridge. The victory made it back-to-back wins for the Hawks.

South Granville better keep an eye on Duncan Parker. He was instrumental in Seaforth's win, picking up 43 receiving yards and one touchdown, while also throwing for 91 yards and a pair of TDs. Parker's passing game has become a key predictor of the Hawks' success: the team is undefeated when his passer rating is 100 or higher, but only 0-4 otherwise.

South Granville's record now sits at 3-4. As for Seaforth, the victory was their first on the road , bumping their record up to 3-4.
