Michael Gibbons Jr and Co. Win Eighth in a Row

Cedartown Wins Eighth-Straight Thanks to Tae Harris

For the year, Harris has averaged 7.4 total tackles per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 39.38 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 86.5 rushing yards.

Kaden Hamilton Dazzles in Hiram Win
Hiram found a leader in Kaden Hamilton as the squad took down Woodland on Friday. Nobody could stop Hamilton as he rushed for 61 yards and three touchdowns on only five carries.
Woodland had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Hamilton it was a similar story. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Hamilton saw the Wildcats), he picked up 85 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 57 yards and a touchdown.
