Wyatt Atkinson Sets Career High in Rushing Yards
Wyatt Atkinson produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Perkins-Tryon to the win on Friday. Atkinson rushed for 166 yards and three touchdowns on only 13 carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. His longest rush was for an impressive 50 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
Atkinson must have Mannford's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. When Atkinson last faced the Pirates back in November of 2023, he rushed for 105 yards and a touchdown on only 13 carries.
