The Thomson Bulldogs will head out to take on the Academy of Richmond County Musketeers at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. Both teams took a loss in their last game, so they'll have plenty of motivation to get the 'W'.
Last Friday, Thomson came up short against North Augusta and fell 25-18. While losing is never fun, the Bulldogs can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' football rankings in their respective home states (they are ranked 215th in Georgia, while the Yellow Jackets are ranked 35th in South Carolina).
Even though the team lost, they still had their share of impressive performances. One of the best came from Jaris Sinkfield, who picked up 80 receiving yards and two touchdowns. Markevion Jones was another key signal caller, throwing for 155 yards and two touchdowns.
Even if they lost, Thomson's defense still kept up the pressure with three sacks. Demontrevious Griffin was especially locked on to North Augusta's QB and sacked him twice.
Meanwhile, Academy of Richmond County had to hit the road for their first game and it wasn't the result they were hoping for. They were dealt a 44-9 defeat at the hands of Burke County last Friday.
Thomson took their win against Academy of Richmond County in their previous matchup back in October of 2021 by a conclusive 20-0. The rematch might be a little tougher for Thomson since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
