A Season-Best Effort from Ford Smith Leads Covington-Douglas over Cherokee
On Thursday, Covington-Douglas got the W thanks in part to Ford Smith playing the best football he has all season. Smith rushed for 129 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 7.2 yards per carry, and also threw for 315 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 11.7 yards per attempt. He got the majority of those rushing yards when he took off on a run that went for an incredible 74 yards.
The win for Covington-Douglas keeps them at an undefeated 7-0. Smith's next matchup is against Coyle on Thursday, where he'll look to repeat that solid performance.

Winning always takes teamwork, but on Thursday Brody Robinson stepped things up a notch to give Davenport the 'W'. Nobody could stop Robinson as he rushed for 96 yards and three touchdowns on only ten carries, and also picked up 63 receiving yards.
