Rockmart coach Biff Parson called it “a pretty good stat line for a junior football player.”
What Nate Davis did Friday night resembled the work of three or four football players.
In a 24-21 victory over North Cobb Christian, Davis rushed for 154 yards and three touchdowns, made eight tackles, intercepted a pass, set up the winning drive with a forced fumble, scored the winning touchdown on a 22-yard run and made the decisive tackle on fourth-and-1 at midfield that clinched the victory.
Despite trailing 21-3 at halftime, Rockmart came away with its 56th consecutive region victory.
