Kenzy West Turns in Season-Best Effort
On Friday, Hartfield Academy had to settle for second even though Kenzy West put up the best numbers he has all season. 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.

Tapper Made His Presence Known in Hartfield Academy's 51-45 Defeat

Jackson Prep Wins Ninth-Straight Thanks to Tre Bryant

Billy Puckett was instrumental in extending Jackson Prep's winning streak to nine on Friday. Puckett was dynamite, rushing for 57 yards and two touchdowns, while also throwing for 201 yards and a touchdown.
