JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. -- Science Hill leading rusher Chris Thomas didn’t play Friday against Jefferson County due to a shoulder injury. Quarterback Connor Batchelder and some swift targets shouldered the load, instead.
The Hilltoppers passed for a Kermit Tipton Stadium record 363 yards and running back Malik Bowman rushed 12 times for 48 yards, including a 31-yard touchdown, and caught four passes for 73 yards as the Hilltoppers rolled to a 42-8 victory.
