Kahmaj Kearney Turns in Season-Best Effort
Smyrna was led to victory by Kahmaj Kearney, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Kearney rushed for 185 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 7.1 yards per carry, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
Caesar Rodney's probably not too fond of Kearney given he always seems to get the better of them. When Kearney last faced the Riders back in October of 2023, he rushed for 31 yards and three touchdowns, and also picked up 66 receiving yards.
