The Warriors walked away with a 37-28 victory over the Olympia Spartans on Friday with plenty of help from Honn, who rushed for 206 yards and four TDs while picking up 9.8 yards per carry. Honn is crushing it when it comes to rushing yards: he's rushed for at least 150 every time he's taken the field this season.

Several Spartans players turned in solid performances despite ultimately coming up short. Perhaps the best among those players was Kaden Collins, who rushed for 88 yards and a pair of touchdowns on only five carries. Collins' longest rush was for an impressive 57 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total. The team also got some help courtesy of Jimmy Lollar, who rushed for 143 yards and two scores.

Athens' record now sits at 3-1. As for Olympia, their loss was their first of the season and also makes their record 3-1.

Both squads are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Athens will square off against Auburn at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The Warriors will be up against the Trojans' rather soft defense (which has allowed 43.5 points per match), so fans could be in store for a big offensive performance. As for Olympia, they will take on Williamsville at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The Bullets' defense has only allowed 10.2 points per game this season, so the Spartans' offense will have their work cut out for them.
