McEachern Edges Pebblebrook; Marietta Pommels Hillgrove
Following Friday's games, both Powder Springs high schools move to 1-2 on the season.
The McEachern Indians grabbed their first victory Friday with a one-touchdown defeat of a team they trounced last year, 52-14.
McEachern (1-2) traveled to Mableton and picked up the 30-23 win over Region 4-6A rival Pebblebrook (0-3). Helping the Indians' cause was Mike Sherman, who rushed for 112 yards, and Ty Clemons, who threw two touchdown passes, according to the Marietta Daily Journal.
“Both teams kept fighting tonight, and we’ll get better as the season goes along,” McEachern coach Kyle Hockman told the newspaper. “I’m happy with the poise that our offense, especially our quarterback, showed in the second half, and a win against an excellent team like Pebblebrook is a good way to start the regional part of our schedule.”
