The Heard County Braves will hit the road for the first time this season to challenge the Murphy Bulldogs at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. Murphy took a loss in their last match and will be looking to turn the tables on Heard County, who comes in off a win.
Last Friday, Heard County humbled South Atlanta with a 48-14 victory. The win made it back-to-back victories for the Braves.
Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead Heard County to victory, but perhaps none more so than Ethan Tisdale, who rushed for 81 yards and two touchdowns on only 11 carries, and also threw for 150 yards and two touchdowns while completing 75% of his passes. Dereon Pearson was another key back, rushing for 123 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 7.7 yards per carry.
Heard County wouldn't let South Atlanta keep a hold of the ball as they managed to force four fumbles. It was truly a group effort as Max Lasseter, Antonio Heath, and Braeden McKenzie picked up one apiece.
Meanwhile, Murphy couldn't capitalize on their home-field advantage in their season opener. They lost 33-13 to Franklin on Friday.
