Class AAAAA

Glynn County

Glynn Academy 24, Ware County 16

How the game was won: The Terrors held on and knocked off Ware County for the second time this season in a nail-biter. Instead of punting out of the end zone with under a minute to play, up 10, Glynn Academy elected to take a sack in the end zone and make it a one score game with 42 seconds remaining. The Gators advanced the ball down the field and had the ball deep in Glynn Academy territory with 4.6 seconds remaining on fourth down. The Gators completed their final pass but were dragged down just shy of the touchdown at the one-yard line to end the game.

Top Performers: Deejay Dallas hit Randon Jernigan on a 45-yard touchdown pass in the first quarter. …Garrison Hurd scored from a yard out. …Kendall Cross found the end zone, Banks Entwistle drilled a field goal with 6:56 to play and Xavier McClinton intercepted a pass with 1:42 remaining all contributing to the victory. …Ware County scored on a Jaquez Bolds 4-yard run and a Jemar Lincoln 29-yard pass to Gary Williams.
