Ugh. Neither team has played a team of consequence and won. GCHS Musketeers beat them both. Since they are playing at Dawson-Bryant, I will pick them.

Phs starts the 3rd with the ball but their drive gets derailed with a high snap that ends up being a big loss.

Cg with a huge sack on a Trojan 3rd and 20. The Hornets with a chance to get some momentum back here forcing a three and out.
