Meanwhile, Hayesville was not able to break out of their rough patch on Friday as the team picked up their fifth straight loss dating back to last season. They and Georgia Force Christian were almost perfectly matched up, but Hayesville suffered a 7-6 defeat. 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.
