Jamari Welch, Athens Academy's leader in rushing yards on the season, led the team again on Friday. Welch made a splash, rushing for 100 yards and a touchdown, while also catching a touchdown. Considering he played a big game the last time he faced off against Providence Christian Academy back in October of 2023, the result shouldn't come as too huge a shock. The bulk of those rushing yards came from one huge play: a run that gained an incredible 97 yards.
Welch and Athens Academy will face off against Elbert County at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. Welch will face off against Jacari Barnett, the Blue Devils' star rusher. Will the matchup be decided in the trenches? We'll have our answer very soon.
