Carson Harris' Big Game Leads Batavia over New Richmond

His passing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his eighth straight game with at least 302 passing yards dating back to last season.
Batavia pushed their record up to 7-1 with the victory, which was their third straight on the road. Their road trip will continue as they head out to face Clinton-Massie at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

The win (which was Clinton-Massie's fifth in a row) raised their record to 6-2. Dillion and Clinton-Massie will challenge Batavia at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Peyton Warren Turns in Season-Best Effort
