🏈 GHSA STATE PLAYOFFS | ROUND 1 PREVIEW
🔥 REMATCH ALERT! 🔥
@StatesboroFB will get another shot at @arcfootball_ this Friday in the first round of the GHSA State Playoffs!
@arcfootball_ is led by impressive QB @ThatQBCarson, who has put together a very efficient season, throwing for 1,500 yards, 18 TDs, and just ONE interception! What stands out to me is his decision-making and ability to take care of the football.
His top target, @McbrideLothan, is a guy who can absolutely FLY! A legitimate deep threat who is a tough matchup for any secondary.
In the backfield, RB Vincent Carter has been outstanding this season, averaging a little over 100 rushing yards per game. He gives this offense another weapon that defenses have to account for.
@StatesboroFB
🛡️ LB @Lavon_Jones1 – A physical linebacker who plays extremely hard and does an excellent job attacking downhill. He will play a major role in trying to slow down this rushing attack.
🛡️ DB @calebscrog – A long, rangy defensive back who will have his hands full trying to limit @McbrideLothan. What I really like about his game is his willingness to come downhill and make plays in run support. He’s not a DB who shies away from contact!
🛡️ DB @rockkoutkey – Will be alongside @calebscrog in the secondary as Statesboro looks to contain this explosive offense and limit big plays through the air.
MY TAKE:
I expect this rematch to be a much closer contest than their first meeting earlier this season. Statesboro will have to find a way to slow down a balanced ARC offense that can hurt you both through the air and on the ground.
This is one of the first-round matchups I’ll definitely be keeping a close eye on Friday night!

Had a great visit @BigRed_Football this past weekend. Thank you to @TerryUrsin and @TreyFlowers_ for the invite. It was an awesome experience.
Congrats on the W❗️
@ThatQBCarson has been one of the most accurate QBs in the state of Georgia this season!
The Richmond Academy QB is completing an INSANE 70% of his passes, and over 1,000 yards while throwing 10 touchdowns to just ONE interception!
Those numbers speak volumes about his efficiency, decision-making, and ability to take care of the football. Carson has been nothing short of impressive this season, and his production deserves a lot more recognition!
One of the most efficient signal-callers in the state!

Benedictine narrowly beats previously undefeated Richmond Academy, but have to be impressed with the JR passer out of Augusta. 374 yards and 4 touchdowns against a defensive backfield with some legit D1 talent #RecruitGeorgia
