Mountain Heritage had already won three in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 41.7 points) and they went ahead and made it four on Friday. They breezed past the Mitchell Mountaineers to the tune of 45-13. Given the Cougars' advantage in MaxPreps' North Carolina football rankings (they are ranked 65th, while the Mountaineers are ranked 206th) , the win wasn't entirely unexpected.
Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead Mountain Heritage to victory, but perhaps none more so than Cason Jones, who rushed for 118 yards and a pair of TDs. What's more, Jones posted two rushing touchdowns, the most he's had since back in August. The team also got some help courtesy of Ervine Rodriguez, who rushed for 148 yards and one touchdown while picking up 8.7 yards per carry.
Wins are hard to come by when you can't run the rock, something Mountain Heritage proved: they limited Mitchell to a paltry 3.2 yards per carry. The team can thank Jones for the heroic effort on defense: he. Mountain Heritage didn't have any issues in that department, having averaged ten.
Mountain Heritage's victory bumped their record up to 7-1. As for Mitchell, their loss dropped their record down to 4-4.
