Carter Eickmeier's Big Game Leads Shelby-Rising City over Mccool Junction
Carter Eickmeier's big game helped extend Shelby-Rising City's winning streak to six on Friday. Eickmeier was dynamite, rushing for 194 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 9.7 yards per carry. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making three total tackles (1.0 for loss) and defending a pass.
Eickmeier and Shelby-Rising City have the luxury of staying home for another week and will welcome McCool Junction at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday. The last time Eickmeier took on the Mustangs, he rushed for 194 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 9.7 yards per carry. Can he match (or beat) that stellar performance?
