Walton, Jones Run Past Etowah

The Raiders remain unbeaten after winning on the road to set up next week's showdown with Lassiter.

Tyren Jones had another big game for Walton High School on Friday, rushing for 171 yards and and two touchdowns as the Raiders downed Etowah 31-17.

The victory pushes Walton to 5-0 this season, setting up Friday's showdown at Raider Valley against undefeated Lassiter, which is ranked 8th in Class 5AAAAA.

It's also a reunion of sorts for Jones, who transferred from Lassiter over the summer.
