South Forsyth took a loss in their last matchup and will be looking to turn the tables on Denmark, who comes in off a win.

Meanwhile, South Forsyth was not able to break out of their rough patch on Friday as the team picked up their fourth straight defeat. They took a blow against West Forsyth, falling 42-10.

Sanders also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, picking up a sack and making three total tackles.
Denmark's victory was their third straight at home, which pushed their record up to 4-3. The home wins came thanks in part to their defensive effort, having only surrendered 11.0 points on average over those games. As for South Forsyth, their loss dropped their record down to 2-5.
Everything went Denmark's way against South Forsyth in their previous matchup back in October of 2024, as Denmark made off with a 32-7 victory. The rematch might be a little tougher for Denmark since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
