Football Preview: Granby Comets vs. Kecoughtan Warriors
The Granby Comets will challenge the Kecoughtan Warriors at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Kecoughtan took a loss in their last game and will be looking to turn the tables on Granby, who comes in off a win.
While Comets fans will have to keep waiting for their squad to come home, they shouldn't be too worried about the road trip considering the result of Saturday's season opener. They took their contest on the road on Saturday with ease, bagging a 46-0 win over Denbigh. Given the Comets' advantage in MaxPreps' Virginia football rankings (they are ranked 83rd, while the Patriots are ranked 255th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Jshaun Reddin went supernova for Granby, throwing for 161 yards and three touchdowns, while also punching in a touchdown on the ground. Corvin Watson got in on the action as well, converting a pick into a touchdown.
Granby's defense stepped up as well, laying out the QB six times. Leading the way was Travis Wiggins and his two sacks. He didn't just play on offense: he also picked up two sacks and made four total tackles (2.0 for loss).
Meanwhile, Kecoughtan was not able to break out of their rough patch on Thursday as the team picked up their fourth straight defeat. They fell 13-2 to Gloucester.
Granby came out on top in a nail-biter against Kecoughtan in their previous matchup back in August of 2023, sneaking past 26-24. The rematch might be a little tougher for Granby since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
