Heading into last week’s showdown it was Colfax’s Tim Rawlins who received all the hype, but on Friday night, Hillmen Running back Owen Scott put on a show of his own. Scott ran over the Falcons defense all night long, rushing for 173 yards and one touchdown, earning him Athlete of the Week honors. Scott, who outrushed Rawlins on the night, had several runs where he carried 3-4 defenders downfield with him. After battling injuries early in the season, the junior came on strong in league play giving the Hillmen another dangerous offensive weapon in their offensive attack. So far this season, Scott has 502 rushing yards and four touchdowns on the ground, and 226 yards receiving and one receiving touchdown.
