Carter Eickmeier's Big Game Leads Shelby-Rising City over Mccool Junction
Shelby-Rising City picked up their sixth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Carter Eickmeier. Eickmeier turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 194 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 9.7 yards per carry. He also put in work on the defensive side of the ball, making three total tackles (1.0 for loss) and defending a pass.
Eickmeier and Shelby-Rising City will play host again on Thursday to welcome McCool Junction, where kickoff is scheduled at 6:00 p.m. The last time Eickmeier took on the Mustangs, he rushed for 194 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 9.7 yards per carry. Can he match (or beat) that stellar performance?
