Preview: Evans Knights vs. Glynn Academy Terrors
Evans is 0-2 against Glynn Academy since November of 2018 but they'll have a chance to close the gap a little bit on Friday. The Evans Knights will look to defend their home field against the Glynn Academy Terrors at 7:30 p.m. Evans will have to bring their A-game into this one, as they are staring down a pretty big deficit in the MaxPreps Georgia Rankings (they are ranked 232nd, while Glynn Academy is ranked 98th).
Last Friday, Evans had to suffer through a rough 42-10 loss at the hands of Effingham County. Evans was down 42-3 at the end of the third quarter, which was just too much to recover from.
Rayshaun King put forth a good effort for the losing side as he rushed for 105 yards and a touchdown.
Meanwhile, Glynn Academy took their game on the road on Thursday with ease, bagging a 43-3 win over Grovetown. The result was nothing new for Glynn Academy, who have now won three matches by 21 points or more so far this season.
Glynn Academy's defense made their presence known, laying out the QB five times. Leading the way was Quantavious Green and his two sacks.
Glynn Academy's win bumped their season record to 6-2 while Evans' loss dropped theirs to 3-4.
Here's a few offensive stats to keep an eye on ahead of Friday' contest: Evans has been unstoppable on the ground this season, having averaged 195.7 rushing yards per game. It's a different story for Glynn Academy, though, as they've been averaging only 0.6 per game. How will Glynn Academy fare against such a dominant running game?
Evans couldn't quite finish off Glynn Academy when the teams last played back in October of 2022 and fell 25-22. Will Evans have more luck at home instead of on the road?
