Kenzy West Delivers Best Performance of Season
Sadly, Kenzy West posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Hartfield Academy over Jackson Prep on Friday. West picked up 186 receiving yards and three touchdowns, and also punched in two rushing scores. He didn't just play on offense: he also made a tackle and defended four passes.
Hartfield Academy's defeat ended an 11-game streak of wins at home dating back to last season and dropped them to 7-2. West and Hartfield Academy will host St. Joseph Catholic at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
