Pierce County has gone a perfect 10-0 against Appling County recently and they'll look to pad the win column further on Friday. The Pierce County Bears will head out on the road to square off against the Appling County Pirates at 5:00 p.m. Appling County took a loss in their last matchup and will be looking to turn the tables on Pierce County, who comes in off a win.

Pierce County will roll into the game after a wild two-game stretch: they didn't score any goals last Tuesday, then bounced right back against Crisp County on Friday. Pierce County's defense stepped up to hand Crisp County a 7-0 shutout. The Bears might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won six contests by four goals or more this season.

Meanwhile, Appling County was not able to break out of their rough patch on Tuesday as the team picked up their seventh straight loss. They came up short against Southeast Bulloch, falling 4-0. While losing is never fun, the Pirates can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Georgia soccer rankings (they are ranked 383rd, while the Yellow Jackets are ranked 99th).

Pierce County has been performing well recently as they've won five of their last six matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 6-4 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they scored 35 goals over those six games. Appling County's defeat dropped their record down to 1-11.

Everything went Pierce County's way against Appling County in their previous meeting back in March of 2024, as Pierce County made off with a 4-1 win. Does Pierce County have another victory up their sleeve, or will Appling County turn the tables on them? We'll have the answer soon enough.
