Athens won the last time they faced Bloomfield Hills and Cainan Hanbury did his part to make sure it happened again. The Red Hawks took down the Black Hawks 35-21 on Friday with plenty of help from Hanbury, who rushed for 143 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 8.9 yards per carry. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, picking up 0.5 sacks, making six total tackles, and defending one pass.

On the defensive side of the ball, a lot of the credit has to go to Athens' defense and their 5.5 sacks. Charles Young IV refused to say out of the backfield, picking up 1.5 sacks all by himself. Max Hladiy got in on the action too, converting a pick into a touchdown.

Athens moved to 2-4 with that victory, which also ended their three-game losing streak. As for Bloomfield Hills, they dropped their record down to 2-4 with the loss, which was their sixth straight on the road dating back to last season.

Both squads will have to hit the road in their upcoming matchups. Athens will face off against Oxford at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The Red Hawks will be up against the Wildcats' rather soft defense (which has allowed 27.67 points per contest), so fans could be in store for a big offensive performance. As for Bloomfield Hills, they will take on Farmington at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The Falcons' defense has only allowed 14.5 points per game this season, so the Black Hawks' offense will have their work cut out for them.
