Football Preview: Groves Rebels vs. Jenkins Warriors
Groves is 0-6 against Jenkins since October of 2016 but they'll have a chance to close the gap a little bit on Friday. The Groves Rebels will challenge the Jenkins Warriors at 7:30 p.m. Neither Groves nor Jenkins posted many points in their last games, so it might be the defenses that decide this one.
Groves can't be to happy about their upcoming road matchup considering what happened when they opened their season on the away from home on Friday. They had to suffer through a 28-0 loss at the hands of West Laurens. The defeat leaves the Rebels without a win on the season.
Meanwhile, Jenkins was beaten by Lowndes 49-7 last Friday. While losing is never fun, the Warriors can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Georgia football rankings (they are ranked 135th, while the Vikings are ranked 43rd).
Even if they lost, Jenkins' defensive line still kept up the pressure with four sacks. Zhaire Sanders was particularly dangerous to the passing game, picking up twohimself.
Groves was taken down by Jenkins 55-0 in their previous matchup back in August of 2021. Thankfully for Groves, Tre Brown (who picked up 75 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 60 yards and a touchdown) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result? There's only one way to find out.
