The game vs. Harrison is McEachern's best opportunity to date to make a statement that they are worthy of consideration for The Sporting News High School Football Top 25.
Harrison, meanwhile, will be playing spoiler and trying to make a statement of their own. The Hoyas have flown under the radar so far in 2025, but a win over McEachern would raise their profile dramatically in the Peach State.
