Football Preview: Mallard Creek Mavericks vs. Grayson Rams
The Mallard Creek Mavericks will look to take advantage of their home-field for the first time this season as they take on the Grayson Rams at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. Expect the scorekeeper to be kept busy: if their previous games are any indication, the two teams will really light up the scoreboard.
Mallard Creek is coming home in high spirits after they had to open their season on the road against Prince Avenue Christian. Mallard Creek walked away with a 31-21 win over Prince Avenue Christian last Saturday. Given the Mavericks' advantage in MaxPreps' football rankings in their respective home states (they are ranked ninth in North Carolina, while the Wolverines are ranked 59th in Georgia), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Meanwhile, Grayson got themselves on the board against Dorman on Friday, but Dorman never followed suit. They simply couldn't be stopped as they easily beat the Cavaliers 53-0 at home. The Rams' offense checked out after the first half but had enough points banked to take the game anyway.
Travis Burgess was the offensive standout of the game as he threw for 167 yards and three touchdowns while completing 72.7% of his passes, and also rushed for 30 yards. Another player making a difference was Elijah Miller, who rushed for 37 yards and two touchdowns.
