Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Milton). They took their match on Friday with ease, bagging a 50-0 victory over the Chattahoochee Cougars. The final result isn't all that surprising considering the Eagles' considerable advantage in MaxPreps' Georgia football rankings (they are ranked fourth, while the Cougars are ranked 318th).
This one was won in the trenches and the lion's share of the credit has to go to Bentley Hickman and Sheldon Atchison. Hickman rushed for 139 yards and a pair of TDs on only seven carries while Atchison rushed for 126 yards and two scores on only eight carries. Hickman's longest rush was for an impressive 53 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total. Another player making a difference was Ben Halevi, who threw for 110 yards and two touchdowns while completing 90% of his passes.
Wins are hard to come by when you can't run the rock, something Milton proved: they limited Chattahoochee to a paltry 2.7 yards per carry. The team can thank Keelan Wonsley for the heroic effort on defense: he. Milton didn't have any issues in that department, having averaged 11.7.
