"It was a good game ." Eagles coach Chris Parker said, "We got everybody in, we won and I think as a team we got better. That was our goal to win and get better."
Clarke County (7-2, 4-1) scored on every possession in the first half with Hunter Rogers finding pay dirt 5 times. Rogers rushed for 180 yards on 7 carries and scored 4 touchdowns rushing with runs of 51, 80, 18, and 5. Rogers was also on the receiving end of a 35 yard touchdown pass from Chris Davis.
"We played great." Rogers said, "The offensive line blocked well obviously, and our defense gave us great field position. We need to play like this every week."
Rogers sat out the entire second half and needs just 70 yards to pass Bo Morgan as Clarke County's all time career leading rusher.
"I'm really proud of him [Rogers], he's worked hard." Parker said. "I'm not sure how many yards he got tonight but he will most likely break the record next week on senior night."
