Williams Gets a Boost from Mahan in 39-21 Win
Dan Mahan's big game helped extend Williams's winning streak to six on Friday. Eastern Alamance had no answer to Mahan as he threw for 233 yards and three touchdowns while completing 80% of his passes, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground.
Mahan must have Eastern Alamance's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. When Mahan last faced the Eagles back in September of 2023, he threw for 283 yards and four touchdowns.
