Reante Byrd Delivers Best Performance of Season
On Friday, Hephzibah had to settle for second even though Reante Byrd put up the best numbers he has all season. Byrd rushed for 204 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 9.3 yards per carry, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 78-yard run.
Byrd and Hephzibah will square off against Academy of Richmond County at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. The matchup will pit Byrd up against the Musketeers' star rusher Mykheal Smith. With so much talent on the field, fans are surely in for an exciting game. The only thing left to see is who brings home the W.
