All Hail the King of Harrison County, he being Robert C. Byrd star running back Jeremiah King.
King and company welcome No. 1 an undefeated Lincoln to Clarksburg and sent it packing on the heals of a 35-13 defeat.
Highlighting the evening was the performance from King, who totaled 66 yards on 29 carries. His career total now stands at 5,884 and counting. King added three TDs on the evening.
King will likely eclipse the 6,000-yard mark, likely the next game. But he’s already become the leading rusher in Harrison County history, surpassing the career mark of Santino Cava, who totaled 5,798.
Yes, They Can Pass

Phalin also ran for 117 yards on 11 carries, totaling two touchdowns.
