It's hard to turn regular season success into postseason wins, a fact Glenn can now relate to. They lost 35-14 to the Dudley Panthers on Friday. While losing is never fun, the Bobcats can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' North Carolina football rankings (they are ranked 258th, while the Panthers are ranked 90th).
Even if they lost, Glenn's defensive line still kept up the pressure with three sacks. The team can thank three different players for their defensive prowess: Isaiah Bufford, Garrett Wilson, and Elijah Imes, who each picked up one sack apiece.
Dudley's win was the result of several impressive offensive performances. One of the most notable came from Brayden Jeffries, who threw for 117 yards and three touchdowns while completing 85.7% of his passes, and also rushed for 88 yards and one score. Jeffries' passing game has become a key predictor of the Panthers' success: the team is undefeated when his passer rating is 110 or higher, but only 2-4 otherwise. Dudley's leading receiver Vermont Carmack was Jeffries' top target yet again, picking up 81 receiving yards and a pair of TDs.
Glenn's loss was their fourth straight on the road, which dropped their record down to 4-7. As for Dudley, they have been performing incredibly well recently as they've won seven of their last eight contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 7-4 record this season.
