Tyler Eber, Thomas Jefferson Outlasts Kemon Spell, McKeesport in Thriller

Thomas Jefferson (2-0) survived a shootout with rival McKeesport (1-2) in Jefferson Hills, Pennsylvania, winning 40-33 after a comeback fueled by Bucknell commit Tyler Eber. Despite five-star Georgia running back Kemon Spell piling up 293 yards and four touchdowns, it was Eber who delivered in multiple swings, including a 37-carry, 186-yard, four-touchdown performance. Thomas Jefferson jumped to key momentum points after a fourth-down failure by McKeesport early. Spell tied the game at 33-33 with a 96-yard touchdown just before halftime, but the Jaguars later scored 20 unanswered points in the second half. Eber’s fourth touchdown—after McKeesport’s late score attempt was called back—secured the lead.
