The Seminole County Indians will challenge the Sneads Pirates at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday. Sneads took a loss in their last contest and will be looking to turn the tables on Seminole County, who comes in off a win.
Last Friday, Seminole County didn't have too much trouble with Chattahoochee County at home as they won 27-13. Given the Indians' advantage in MaxPreps' Georgia football rankings (they are ranked 143rd, while the Panthers are ranked 431st), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Seminole County didn't go easy on the quarterback and picked off two passes before the game was over. In fact, those interceptions all came courtesy of defensive juggernaut Nei?Ko Edwards.
Meanwhile, Sneads couldn't capitalize on their home-field advantage in their season opener. They fell just short of Cottondale by a score of 24-21 on Friday.
Even though the team lost, they still had their share of impressive performances. One of the best came from Pious Reed, who rushed for 112 yards and a touchdown on only nine carries.
Reed wasn't the only one working in the rushing yards department: Sneads was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 251 rushing yards. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now rushed for at least 157 rushing yards in seven consecutive matches dating back to last season.
Sneads wouldn't let Cottondale keep a hold of the ball as they managed to force two fumbles. Sneads can thank Troy Mathews and Aaron Williams for forcing both of them. Another thorn in Cottondale's side was Justin Street, who made nine total tackles and defended three passes.
