Cedartown Wins Eighth-Straight Thanks to Tae Harris
Cedartown picked up their eighth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Tae Harris. Harris did his part (and then some), making seven total tackles for the 'W'. The bulk of those rushing yards came from one huge play: a run that gained an incredible 80 yards.
Cedartown's win was their fifth straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 8-0. Harris' next matchup is against Cartersville on Friday, where he'll look to repeat that solid performance.

Hiram Gets a Boost from Hamilton in 49-0 Victory
Kaden Hamilton was a major factor in Hiram's win over Woodland on Friday. Hamilton was dynamite, rushing for 61 yards and three touchdowns on only five carries.
Hamilton must have Woodland's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Hamilton picked up 85 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 57 yards and a touchdown the last time he and the Wildcats duked it out back in October of 2023.

Cedartown Wins Eighth-Straight Thanks to Demarcus Gardner
Cedartown picked up their eighth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Demarcus Gardner. Gardner made five total tackles and defended a pass, good enough to also set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He didn't just play on offense: he also made five total tackles and defended a pass.
For the season, Gardner has averaged 3.4 total tackles per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging two rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 6.25 rushing yards.
