After each having a week off, the Johnson Atomsmashers and the Long County Blue Tide will shake off the cobwebs and take on one another at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.
Johnson can't be to happy about their upcoming road match considering what happened when they opened their season on the away from home last Friday. They fell 20-12 to Bryan County.
Johnson wouldn't let Bryan County keep a hold of the ball as they managed to force three fumbles. It was truly a group effort as Darius Black, Isaiah Scott, and Brynin Collins picked up one apiece.
Meanwhile, Long County took care of business in their home opener last Friday. They came out on top against Vidalia by a score of 20-10.
Jason Familia had an outrageously good game as he rushed for 147 yards and two touchdowns on only 11 carries. His longest rush was for an incredible 87 yards.
Long County didn't go easy on the quarterback and picked off two passes before the game was over. The picks came courtesy of Christopher Hatfield and Chase Bentley.
Johnson suffered a grim 38-14 defeat to Long County in their previous meeting back in November of 2023. Thankfully for Johnson, Ahmari Douglas (who rushed for 126 yards and three touchdowns on only eight carries) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result? There's only one way to find out.
