A Season-Best Effort from Austin Gautier Leads Nelsonville-York over Vinton County
Nelsonville-York was led to victory by Austin Gautier, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Gautier rushed for 163 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 7.8 yards per carry, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.

Athens Wins Ninth-Straight Thanks to Seth Hart
Athens picked up their ninth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Seth Hart. Hart did his part (and then some), picking up 1.5 sacks, forcing a fumble, and making eight total tackles (5.0 for loss) for the 'W'. Hart is crushing it when it comes to total tackles: he's made at least six every time he's taken the field this season.
Athens' victory was their eighth straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 9-0. Hart and Athens will venture away from home to challenge Nelsonville-York at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Athens Gets a Boost from Pero in 58-0 Victory
Athens picked up their ninth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Alex Pero. Pero was dynamite, rushing for 117 yards and a touchdown on only five carries. He got the majority of those rushing yards when he took off on a run that went for an incredible 60 yards.
Unfortunately for River Valley, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Pero. Pero rushed for 137 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 8.6 yards per carry the last time he and the Raiders duked it out back in October of 2023.
Gamescore: 27.40
Athens picked up their ninth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Anthony Sutton. Sutton turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 59 yards and two touchdowns.
This season, Sutton has averaged 22.8 receiving yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after nine games last season, he was only averaging 12.22 receiving yards per game.
