Jamar Hicks Sets Career High in Rushing Yards
Jamar Hicks produced his most outstanding game to date while leading South Granville to the win on Friday. Hicks rushed for 152 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 7.6 yards per carry, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. That high mark didn't come from nowhere: he has now rushed for 107 or more in the last three games he's played.
If the past is any indication, Hicks could be in store for another big game when he takes on J.F. Webb on Friday. Hicks rushed for 125 yards and two touchdowns on only eight carries the last time he and the Warriors duked it out back in October of 2023.
