Caleb Carr Sets Career High in Rushing Yards
Sadly, Caleb Carr posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Rhea County over McMinn County on Friday. Carr rushed for 54 yards and two touchdowns on only five carries, and also threw for 97 yards and a touchdown, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
On the season, Carr has thrown 8 touchdowns while averaging 114.8 passing yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 61.83 passing yards per game.

Jackson Montgomery Turns in Season-Best Effort
Jackson Montgomery produced his most outstanding game to date while leading McMinn County to the win on Friday. Montgomery made 13 total tackles (4.0 for loss).
Rhea County's probably not too fond of Montgomery given he always seems to get the better of them. Montgomery picked up a sack and made 14 total tackles the last time he and the Golden Eagles duked it out back in September of 2023.
