They really took it to the Chapel Hill Panthers for the full four quarters, racking up a 43-13 win. Given the Indians' advantage in MaxPreps' Georgia football rankings (they are ranked 59th, while the Panthers are ranked 257th), the result on Friday wasn't entirely unexpected.
East Coweta's success was the result of a balanced attack that saw several players step up, but Ricky Howell Jr led the charge by rushing for 106 yards and a touchdown. The dominant performance gave Howell Jr a new career-high in rushing yards. Jax Bowles was another key signal caller, throwing for 187 yards and three touchdowns while completing 81.8% of his passes.
