Hartsock Keys North's Huge Comeback Against Central

BLOUNTVILLE — Austin Hartsock engineered a jaw-dropping comeback Friday night, carrying Sullivan North’s football team from a 20-point halftime deficit to a 36-28 nonconference win over host Sullivan Central in the season opener for both teams. Down 28-8 at intermission, North scored the game’s last four touchdowns. Hartsock, a senior quarterback, had his fingerprints all over the stunning win, scoring four touchdowns to bring the Golden Raiders all the way back from a seemingly insurmountable deficit.

Thereafter, it was all Sullivan North. “Coach (Preston Patrick) set us straight at halftime, he really did,” said Hartsock, who missed the last half of 2018 with a broken leg.
