Loganville is celebrating as hometown star Phil Mafah scored his first NFL touchdown in his professional debut with the Dallas Cowboys.
Mafah, a former Grayson High and Clemson standout, powered into the end zone on a one-yard run against the New York Giants at MetLife Stadium, cutting Dallas’ deficit to 24–17 early in the fourth quarter.
The rookie’s touchdown was a personal bright spot, even as the Cowboys ultimately fell 34–17.
