Big Game from Callihan As Fannin County Won 56-6
Carson Callihan was instrumental in extending Fannin County's winning streak to eight on Friday. Nobody could stop Callihan as he rushed for 147 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 8.6 yards per carry. He is on a roll when it comes to rushing touchdowns, as he's now punched in two or more in the last seven games he's played dating back to last season.
Fannin County pushed their record up to 8-0 with the win, which was their fifth straight at home dating back to last season. Callihan will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant performance when he faces off against Christian Heritage on Friday.
