Braeden Hites' Rushing Yards a New Career-High
Braeden Hites produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Crawfordsville to the win on Friday. Hites rushed for 124 yards and two touchdowns on only 12 carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He also put in work on the defensive side of the ball, picking up a sack and making four total tackles.
Frankfort's probably not too fond of Hites given he always seems to get the better of them. Hites rushed for 91 yards and three touchdowns on only ten carries the last time he and the Hot Dogs duked it out back in October of 2023.
