Athens Wins Ninth-Straight Thanks to Seth Hart
Athens picked up their ninth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Seth Hart. Hart was dynamite, picking up 1.5 sacks, forcing a fumble, and making eight total tackles (5.0 for loss). Hart is crushing it when it comes to total tackles: he's made at least six every time he's taken the field this season.
Athens' win was their eighth straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 9-0. Hart and Athens will venture away from home to take on Nelsonville-York at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

River Valley had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Pero it was a similar story. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Pero saw the Raiders), he rushed for 137 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 8.6 yards per carry.
