The McDonough Warhawks will challenge the Etowah Eagles at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday. Hopefully McDonough focused on turnovers this week as the team gave up 18 on Saturday.
McDonough had to travel to play their first game of the season, but the final result was worth the trip. They strolled past North Atlanta with points to spare, taking the game 65-51. The Warhawks pushed the score to 54-33 by the end of the third, a deficit the Warriors cut but never quite recovered from.
McDonough can attribute much of their success to Kerrington Moore, who went 6 for 9 en route to 17 points plus four steals, and Zion Greene, who dropped a double-double on 17 points and 14 rebounds. Greene is on a roll when it comes to points, as he's now scored 15 or more in the last 13 games he's played dating back to last season. Another player making a difference was Jaelen Kerbo, who earned ten points.
Meanwhile, Etowah posted their biggest win since January 23rd on Thursday. They put the hurt on River Ridge with a sharp 69-48 victory. For those keeping track at home, that's the biggest win the Eagles have posted against the Knights since November 16, 2021.
Everything went McDonough's way against Etowah when the teams last played back in November of 2023, as McDonough made off with a 77-56 victory. Will McDonough repeat their success, or does Etowah have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
