Jonathan Isom Delivers Best Performance of Season
Mitchell County was led to victory by Jonathan Isom, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Isom rushed for 183 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 8.7 yards per carry, and also threw for 159 yards and three touchdowns on only 12 passes. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, picking up a sack and making four total tackles in addition to snagging an interception which he returned one-yard for a touchdown.
The win (which was Mitchell County's third in a row) raised their record to 6-1. Isom's next game is against Miller County on Friday, where he'll look to repeat that solid performance.
