New Hampstead is hoping to patch up the holes in a defense that has allowed an average of 34.89 points per game. They will head out on the road to face off against Statesboro at 7:30 p.m. ET on Friday. Coming off of a loss in a game they were expected to win, the Phoenix now face the more daunting task of proving themselves against unfavorable odds.
New Hampstead found themselves the reluctant recipients of an unpleasant 34-6 punch to the gut against Ware County last week. The result was totally at odds with the teams' rankings as the Phoenix enjoy a hefty spot advantage.
Meanwhile, even if it wasn't a dominant performance, Statesboro beat South Effingham 40-34.
Statesboro's win lifted them to 4-4 while New Hampstead's loss dropped them down to 3-6. We'll find out if Statesboro can add another positive mark to their record or if New Hampstead can shake off the defeat and take the spring out of Statesboro's step.
