The Easley Green Wave will look to take advantage of their home-field for the first time this season as they take on the Wren Hurricanes at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. Keep an eye on the score for this one: the two teams posted some lofty point totals in their previous games.
Easley is headed into their home opener looking to turn things around after opening their season on the road. They took a 47-41 hit to the loss column at the hands of Pickens. The defeat leaves the Green Wave without a win on the season.
Easley might have lost, but man, Jay Stoker was a machine: he threw for 408 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 11.7 yards per attempt, and also rushed for 82 yards and a touchdown. Kadin Davis was Stoker's top target, picking up 237 receiving yards and a touchdown.
Even though they lost, Easley was moving up and down the field and finished the game with 565 total yards. That's the most total yards they've posted since back in September of 2023.
Easley didn't go easy on the quarterback and picked off two passes before the game was over. The picks came courtesy of Jonathan Isham and Kyler Turner. Easley got some further help from Kobe Preston: he made 16 total tackles.
Meanwhile, Wren took care of business in their home opener on Friday (and then some). They simply couldn't be stopped as they easily beat Palmetto 35-0 at home. The score at the end of the third wound up being the final score as the Hurricanes just coasted through the last quarter.
Wren had a senior duo take command as Colten Bagwell threw for 145 yards and two touchdowns while completing 75% of his passes and Reese Price gained 99 total yards and a touchdown.
Easley took a serious blow against Wren when the teams last played back in September of 2021, falling 55-28. Thankfully for Easley, Malachi Hill (who rushed for 180 yards and two touchdowns on only 15 carries) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result?
