CLEVELAND, Tenn. – The Signal Mountain Eagles encountered an insurmountable Hill inside Benny Monroe Stadium Friday night.
Cleveland junior quarterback JaShawn Hill not only accounted for the Blue Raiders’ first five touchdowns, but his performance in the final two minutes prior to the festivities shifted the momentum of the game and could have gotten him elected to this year’s homecoming court.
Just how sharp was Hill’s game in the Blue Raiders’ 44-13 victory?
He threw two touchdown passes in the final two minutes of the first half and ran for two scores in the second half. His 15-yard pass to Skyler Davis opened the scoring and set the offensive tone on a night when the junior went 8-for-18 for 174 yards and added 70 yards running.
Most of his ground work took place in the second half when he scored on runs of 10 and 9 yards, but his dual-threat abilities kept the hustling Eagles off balance and keyed the momentum-shifting drives before the break.
