Athens Wins Ninth-Straight Thanks to Seth Hart
Athens picked up their ninth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Seth Hart. Hart turned in nothing short of a gem, picking up 1.5 sacks, forcing a fumble, and making eight total tackles (5.0 for loss). 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' win was their eighth straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 9-0. Hart and Athens will square off against Nelsonville-York at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Alex Pero's Big Game Leads Athens over River Valley
Alex Pero was instrumental in extending Athens's winning streak to nine on Friday. Pero was dynamite, rushing for 117 yards and a touchdown on only five carries. His longest rush was for an impressive 60 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
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.

Sutton Made His Presence Known in Athens' 58-0 Win
Anthony Sutton was instrumental in extending Athens's winning streak to nine on Friday. Sutton did his part (and then some), rushing for 59 yards and two touchdowns for the 'W'.
This year, 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.
