Cedartown Wins Eighth-Straight Thanks to Michael Gibbons Jr
Cedartown picked up their eighth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Michael Gibbons Jr. Gibbons Jr turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 59 yards on only eight carries.
This season, Gibbons Jr has averaged 39.2 rushing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after eight games last season, he was only averaging 11.38 rushing yards per game.
Gamescore: 37.85
Hamilton Posts Huge Game in 49-0 Win
Winning always takes teamwork, but on Friday Kaden Hamilton stepped things up a notch to give Hiram the 'W'. Nobody could stop Hamilton as he rushed for 61 yards and three touchdowns on only five carries.
Hamilton must have Woodland's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. When Hamilton last faced the Wildcats back in October of 2023, he picked up 85 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 57 yards and a touchdown.

Cedartown Wins Eighth-Straight Thanks to Demarcus Gardner
Demarcus Gardner's big game helped extend Cedartown's winning streak to eight on Friday. Gardner made five total tackles and defended a pass, good enough to also set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He didn't just play on offense: he also made five total tackles and defended a pass.
This year, Gardner has averaged 3.4 total tackles per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging two rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 6.25 rushing yards.
