Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask McEachern). They blew past Paulding County 67-7 on the road last Friday. Given the Indians' advantage in MaxPreps' Georgia football rankings (they are ranked 37th, while the Patriots are ranked 191st), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
The victory made it two in a row for Harrison and bumps their season record up to 4-1. As for McEachern, the win (which was their third in a row) raised their record to 3-2.
Harrison couldn't quite finish off McEachern in their previous matchup back in October of 2023 and fell 24-21. A big factor in that loss was the dominant performance of McEachern's Jayreon Campbell, who rushed for 165 yards and three touchdowns.
