The Concord Christian Lions will look to take advantage of their home-field for the first time this season as they take on the Hayesville Yellowjackets at 5:00 p.m. on Friday. Hayesville took a loss in their last matchup and will be looking to turn the tables on Concord Christian, who comes in off a win.
Concord Christian is coming home in high spirits after they had to open their season on the road against Providence Academy. Concord Christian walked away with a 34-27 victory over Providence Academy on Friday.
Meanwhile, Hayesville was not able to break out of their rough patch on Friday as the team picked up their fifth straight defeat dating back to last season. They and Georgia Force Christian were almost perfectly matched up, but Hayesville suffered a 7-6 loss. While losing is never fun, the Yellowjackets can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' football rankings in their respective home states (they are ranked 295th in North Carolina, while the Blue Knights are ranked 142nd in Georgia).
Tre Graves put forth a good effort for the losing side as he rushed for 87 yards and a touchdown.
Hayesville's defense was in the mix too, especially the secondary: they snagged two passes before it was all said and done. In fact, those interceptions all came courtesy of defensive juggernaut Graves.
