Royals host Harrison County tonight

The Mason County Royals host the Harrison County Thorobreds tonight at 7:30 p.m. Both teams have reeled off three straight wins after dropping their season openers. Both squads are coming off strong defensive efforts last week. Mason County held Rowan County to seven points. The Vikings entered the game averaging 40.5 points per game. Harrison County limited Scott to less than 100 yards rushing. Harrison County's leading rusher, Caleb Reeder, suffered a torn ACL in last week's game. Nick Slucher, a 5-7, 156-pound junior, is Harrison County's second-leading rusher. He has rushed for 206 yards and four touchdowns. Harrison County quarterback Joe Korona, a 6-foot, 171- pound junior, has completed 39-of-83 passes for 426 yards and three touchdowns. He has thrown five interceptions.
