FAIRMONT — East Bladen remained undefeated, routing host Fairmont 50-12 on Friday night in Three Rivers Conference high school football.
• Performances: Eagles, senior RaSean McKoy, touchdown runs of 2, 50, 48, finished with 14 rushes for 198 yards; junior Javius Brooks, 11 rushes for 122 yards; senior Javant McDowell, interception; junior Sherman Monroe, interception; junior Tim McLean, sack.
• Key: Coach Robby Priest said the Eagles ran a fake punt for a touchdown, recovered “two or three” onside kicks, and returned a kickoff for a touchdown. “I was impressed with our special teams,” he said. “Josh Hayes had 22 tackles against South Columbus — we found that out Monday morning. He played good again last night.” Hayes is a senior middle linebacker. Priest also said junior Nazire Smith excelled in downfield blocking, springing runners three or four times. McDowell and McKoy also drew praise.
• Records: East Bladen 2-0 Three Rivers, 2-0 overall; Fairmont 0-2 Three Rivers, 0-2 overall.
