Big Game from Hill Jr As Houston County Fell 41-31
While Houston County might've come up empty on Friday, Antwann Hill Jr wasn't going down without a fight. Hill Jr turned in nothing short of a gem, throwing for 259 yards and three touchdowns, while also rushing for 36 yards and a touchdown.
Hill Jr and Houston County will take on Lee County at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. The Bears had to take a loss when they last met the Trojans, but Hill Jr had little to do with the loss: he threw for 282 yards and three touchdowns, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground. Can he match (or beat) that performance?
