Northside proved they can win big last Tuesday (they won by 32) but on Thursday they proved they can win the close ones too. They narrowly escaped with a victory as the team sidled past the Macon County Bulldogs 8-6. The Eagles have seen this before: they got the W the last time they saw the Bulldogs, too.
On the defensive side of the ball, a lot of the credit has to go to Northside's defense and their six sacks. The heavy lifting was done by Iyana Turner and Zipporah Smith, who racked up all six sacks between them.
Northside's win bumped their record up to 2-0.
