The Bowdon Red Devils will head out on the road to face off against the Bremen Blue Devils 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.
Bowdon is headed into the contest after thoroughly thrashing Macon County: they outscored them in every quarter. Given that consistent dominance, it should come as no surprise that Bowdon blew Macon County out of the water with a 56-7 final score. The match was all but wrapped up at the end of the third, by which point the Red Devils had established a 42 point advantage.
Charles Maxell Iii had an outrageously good game as he rushed for 105 yards and two touchdowns on only seven carries, and also threw for 122 yards and a touchdown. Another player making a difference was Nathan Bhony, who rushed for 71 yards and a touchdown on only nine carries.
Bhony wasn't the only one working in the rushing yards department: Bowdon was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 259 rushing yards. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now rushed for at least 180 rushing yards in 15 consecutive matchups dating back to last season.
Special teams also played a big role in the game for Bowdon, adding 24 points to the final score. All those points came courtesy of Brandon Jones: he added 18 points with six field goals, and another six kicking extra points.
Meanwhile, Bremen gave their fans exactly what they wanted out of a home opener on Friday. They claimed a resounding 57-6 win over Jordan at home. Given the Blue Devils' advantage in MaxPreps' Georgia football rankings (they are ranked 180th, while the Red Jackets are ranked 450th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Bowdon took their victory against Bremen in their previous meeting back in September of 2023 by a conclusive 42-16. The rematch might be a little tougher for Bowdon since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
