The Heritage Generals will take on the Southeast Bulloch Yellow Jackets at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. Heritage will be looking to keep their five-game home win streak alive.
Last Friday, Heritage earned a 17-7 victory over Adairsville.
A big part of Heritage's win came down to the chemistry between Cross Williams and his top target Cody Bryan. Williams threw for 179 yards and two touchdowns while completing 76.9% of his passes while Bryan picked up 100 receiving yards and a touchdown. An impressive showing, but Bryan really ramped things up playing D: he forced a fumble and made six total tackles in addition to snagging two interceptions.
Heritage didn't go easy on the quarterback and picked off three passes before the game was over. The picks came courtesy of Bryan and Brody James.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Southeast Bulloch). They blew past Groves, posting a 50-14 victory. Considering the Yellow Jackets have won five matchups by more than 21 points this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.
Southeast Bulloch can attribute much of their success to Quentin Reed, who rushed for 75 yards and a touchdown on only six carries. That's the most rushing yards Reed has posted since back in August. Kyle Obrien was in the mix too, providing Southeast Bulloch with a touchdown.
Southeast Bulloch wouldn't let Groves keep a hold of the ball as they managed to force two fumbles. Southeast Bulloch can thank Michael Dixon and Obrien for forcing both of them. Dixon has been hot , having also posted five or more total tackles the last five times he's played. Southeast Bulloch got some further help from Brant Horst: he picked up three sacks and made four total tackles.
The win (which was Southeast Bulloch's fourth in a row) raised their record to 8-2. Those good results were due in large part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 34.3 points per game. As for Heritage, their victory bumped their record up to 6-4.
