Two teams were on the hunt for playoff glory, but only Hazlehurst walked away with it. They took down the Tylertown Chiefs 57-40 on Friday. The Indians' offense stepped up their game for this one, as that was the most points they've scored all season.
Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead Hazlehurst to victory, but perhaps none more so than Brandon Haines, who rushed for 129 yards on only 14 carries. Haines' rushing production has been exceptional as that marked his fifth straight game with at least 129 rushing yards.
They were just one part of a punishing run game: Hazlehurst was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 525 rushing yards. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now rushed for at least 352 rushing yards in four consecutive matchups.
Hazlehurst didn't go easy on the quarterback and picked off four passes before the game was over. Javeus Boyd led the group effort, picking up two of those interceptions all by himself. Josiah Pittman also set a new season-high mark in total tackles with six. Tyelan Mitchell got in on the action too, converting a pick into a touchdown.
Hazlehurst is on a roll lately: they've won four of their last five games. That's provided a nice bump to their 6-3 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 40.4 points over those games. As for Tylertown, they dropped their record down to 6-5 with the loss, which was their third straight on the road.
Looking ahead, Hazlehurst will face off against Union at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The Indians will need to watch out since the Yellowjackets have now posted at least 31 points in their last four contests. Tylertown does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
