Carson Callihan's Big Game Leads Fannin County over Armuchee
Fannin County picked up their eighth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Carson Callihan. Nobody could stop Callihan as he rushed for 147 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 8.6 yards per carry. He is on a roll when it comes to rushing touchdowns, as he's now punched in two or more in the last seven games he's played.
Fannin County's win was their fifth straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 8-0. Callihan and Fannin County will have some time to savor their victory since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Gordon Lee at 7:30 p.m. on November 1st.
