Gray's Creek took care of business in their home opener on Friday. They walked away with a 25-18 win over the Pine Forest Trojans. This was payback for the Bears, who suffered a 61-49 defeat the last time these two teams met.
One reason for the win was Gray's Creek's imposing defense, which managed to get into the backfield for three sacks. The team can thank three different players for their defensive prowess: Aiden Keola, Christian Burnette, and Zeek Howard, who each picked up one sack apiece. Gray's Creek got some further help from Keola: he picked up a sack and made seven total tackles in addition to snagging an interception.
Pine Forest's loss came despite a true team effort from the offense with many players turning in solid performances. Perhaps the best among them was Jaidon Moore, who threw for 205 yards and a pair of TDs, and also punched in one touchdown on the ground. 96 of Moore's passing yards were hauled in by Perry Moore, who also brought in a receiving touchdown.
