The PSR Take
How about those numbers?
Bradwell's Jah'Barri Felix accounted for six touchdowns. Calvary Day's James Mobley IV threw four touchdown passes, with MJ Knight Jr. catching three of them.
South Effingham's Khyran White rushed for 216 yards, while Jenkins' Tasean Rhodes accounted for 322 combined rushing and return yards.
And don't overlook the defenses. Benedictine had three players combine for 51 tackles against Ware County. Calvary Day recorded five sacks and three interceptions in its region championship win.
The regular season is in the books. Now it's playoff time, and these are the kinds of performances teams will need to keep playing.
You gotta love it!
