It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but Lincoln County had no problem doing just that on Friday. They breezed past the Brooks County Trojans to the tune of 52-16. The Red Devils might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won 11 games by 25 points or more this season.
Lincoln County's win was a true team effort, with many players turning in solid performances. Perhaps the best among them was Kelby Glaze, who rushed for 110 yards and a pair of TDs on only 11 carries. That's the most rushing yards Glaze has posted since back in November of 2024. The team also got some help courtesy of Aiden Jones, who rushed for 73 yards and one score.
Wins are hard to come by when you can't run the rock, something Lincoln County proved: they limited Brooks County to a paltry 2.3 yards per carry. The team can thank Jeremiah Wynn for the heroic effort on defense: he. Lincoln County didn't have any issues in that department, having averaged 8.8.
Lincoln County's defense also made the game a nightmare for Junior Burrus, racking up eight sacks. Jones and Wynn were the leaders of the group effort as each produced three apiece. Jeremiah Johnson is also on a roll when it comes to total tackles, as he's now made six or more in each of the last four games he's played. Lincoln County received some extra help from Glaze, whose fumble return for a touchdown made for one of the most unforgettable moments.
Several Trojans players turned in solid performances despite ultimately coming up short. Perhaps the best among those players was Damari Baynard, who rushed for 135 yards while picking up 8.4 yards per carry. Baynard is becoming a predictor of Brooks County's success: when he posts at least 80 rushing yards the team is 4-2 (and 3-4 when he doesn't). Trae Stevenson was another key receiver, gaining 141 total yards and a touchdown.
