Jayden Richardson Delivers Best Performance of Season
Jayden Richardson produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Marion County to the win on Friday. Richardson rushed for 106 yards and two touchdowns on only eight carries. The performance marked the most rushing yards he has had since back in October of 2023. He also put in work on the defensive side of the ball, forcing a fumble and making seven total tackles in addition to snagging an interception.
If the past is any indication, Richardson could be in store for another big game when he takes on Chattahoochee County on Friday. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Richardson saw the Panthers), he rushed for 161 yards and three touchdowns on only 14 carries.

Winning always takes teamwork, but on Friday Zayden Walker stepped things up a notch to give Schley County the 'W'. Taylor County had no answer to Walker as he picked up 42 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground.
The victory got Schley County back to even at 4-4. Walker and Schley County will have some time to savor their win since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Central at 6:30 p.m. on October 18th.
