Football Game Preview: Norcross Blue Devils vs. Grayson Rams + How To Watch

Norcross hasn't had much luck against Grayson recently, but that could start to change on Friday. After each having a week off, the two teams will shake off the rust and duke it out at 7:30 p.m.

Norcross is headed into the game out to prove that what happened against Brookwood two weeks ago (when they were outscored in every quarter) was just a minor bump in the road. The Blue Devils were beaten by the Broncos 43-8. While losing is never fun, the Blue Devils can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Georgia football rankings (they are ranked 143rd, while the Broncos are ranked 40th).

Even if they lost, Norcross' defensive line still kept up the pressure with three sacks. Miles Davis refused to say out of the backfield, picking up 1.5 sacks all by himself. Norcross got some further help from Davis: he picked up 1.5 sacks, forced one fumble, and made nine total tackles (3.0 for loss).

Meanwhile, Grayson put another one in the bag last Friday to keep their perfect season alive. Everything went their way against Archer as they made off with a 38-12 victory. The result was nothing new for the Rams, who have now won eight matchups by 26 points or more so far this season.

Norcross better keep an eye on Jonathan Stafford. He was instrumental in Grayson's win, picking up 86 receiving yards and one TD, while also rushing for 60 yards and one score.

Grayson didn't let much get past them through the air: they limited Archer to a completion percentage of just 48.5%. That dominant aerial defense primarily came from two players: Jalen Welch and Rilee Drew, who each logged two passes deflected. Grayson wasn't nearly as limited: they posted one of 58.3%.

Grayson's record is now 10-0. As for Norcross, their defeat dropped their record down to 6-4.

Norcross came up short against Grayson in their previous matchup back in November of 2024, falling 34-24. A big factor in that loss was the dominant performance of the Rams' Travis Burgess, who rushed for 120 yards and one touchdown on only 11 carries, and also threw for 196 yards and three TDs.
