Kennesaw Mountain and Sprayberry are an even 3-3 against one another since August of 2014, but not for long. The Kennesaw Mountain Mustangs will be defending their home-field for the first time for the first time when they go up against the Sprayberry Yellow Jackets at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.
Kennesaw Mountain is headed into their home opener looking to turn things around after opening their season on the road. They took a hard 35-21 fall against Harrison last Friday. The loss leaves the Mustangs without a win on the season.
The losing side was boosted by Kobe Lewis, who picked up 90 receiving yards and two touchdowns. The team also got some help courtesy of Walt Higgins, who picked up 90 receiving yards and a touchdown.
Meanwhile, Sprayberry was not the first on the board last Friday, but they got there more often. They enjoyed a cozy 31-17 victory over Etowah. Given the Yellow Jackets' advantage in MaxPreps' Georgia football rankings (they are ranked 113th, while the Eagles are ranked 246th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Jaden Duckett was the offensive standout of the match as he threw for 276 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 12.5 yards per attempt, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground. Another player making a difference was Rayshawn Simpkins, who rushed for 130 yards.
Everything came up roses for Kennesaw Mountain against Sprayberry when the teams last played back in September of 2021 as the squad secured a 47-3 win. Will Kennesaw Mountain repeat their success, or does Sprayberry have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
