Curtis Grant Delivers Electric Effort Vs Clinch County
Keeping Hillmon company is Curtis Grant, a fellow Turner County player. He rushed for 39 yards and two touchdowns, and also picked up 64 receiving yards and a touchdown.
Grant must have Clinch County's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Grant picked up 77 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 41 yards and a touchdown the last time he and the Panthers duked it out back in October of 2023.
