A rematch of last year’s semifinal was on tap in Grayson County Friday night. Last year’s semifinal saw a narrow win for the Blue Devils en route to the team’s first-ever state finals appearance.
Grayson County went up 13-7 after QB Maverik Goad scampered up the middle and broke through the line for a 19-yard rushing touchdown.
George Wythe would respond later, though, after Camden Skeens ran into the endzone off of an Isaac Smith pass to give the Maroons the lead back.
A rushing touchdown later in the contest from Smith would put George Wythe up 28-20. However, Grayson County would not go quietly into the night.
A bobbling catch by David Mitchell in the endzone after a throw from Goad would give the Blue Devils life, cutting the score to 28-26 with a chance to tie on a two-point conversion. But the pass from Goad intended for Mitchell on the two-point conversion fell incomplete as George Wythe took home the 28-26 victory.
