Southlake Carroll Gets a Boost from Penn in 50-14 Victory
Southlake Carroll picked up their seventh consecutive win on Thursday thanks in part to Davis Penn. Penn did his part (and then some), rushing for 131 yards and a touchdown on only 11 carries for the 'W'.
Penn must have V.R. Eaton's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Penn saw the Eagles), he rushed for 128 yards and four touchdowns on only nine carries.
