When it comes to explaining why Harvey lost, don't look at Shahn Alston. Despite the final result, he rushed for 206 yards and four TDs while picking up 7.6 yards per carry. Alston is becoming a predictor of the Red Raiders' success: when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns the team is 4-1 (and 0-4 when he doesn't). The team also got some help courtesy of Chris Burt Jr., who gained 130 total yards and two touchdowns.
As for Hawken, the win (which was their fourth in a row) raised their record to 8-1. Given their advantage in MaxPreps' Ohio football rankings (they are ranked 157th, while Harvey is ranked 396th) , the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
A big part of Hawken's victory came down to the chemistry between Donovan Moorhead and his top target Charlie Mallett.

Moorhead is crushing it when it comes to passing touchdowns: he's passed for at least three every time he's taken the field this season.
