While losing is never fun, the Titans can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' North Carolina football rankings (they are ranked 169th, while the Huskies are ranked third).
When it comes to explaining why Hopewell lost, don't look at Marvin Reed Jr. Despite the final result, he rushed for 134 yards and a touchdown. The dominant performance gave Reed Jr a new career-high in rushing yards.

Another player making a difference was Sean Brady, who gained 57 total yards and two touchdowns.
