All-time: GA leads 1-0 in the brief history between these teams. Game Preview: Glynn Academy is making its xxxx straight appearance in the playoffs. The Red Terrors lost in the first-round last year by an 18-13 score at Northside-Warner Robins. Glynn will be looking to advance beyond the first round for the first time since beating Grovetown at home to open the 2020 playoffs. GA also fell in the first round to Hughes in 2001. The Terrors won in the first round every year from 2014-2020 under head coach Rocky Hidalgo who is taking the team to the playoffs for the 10th straight season since becoming the GA head coach prior to the 2014 campaign. This will be the second playoff meeting for Glynn and Jonesboro. The teams met in Brunswick in the first round back in 2016 with the Terrors winning 45-3. Glynn also defeated Allatoona at home in the second round that season before losing to Northside at home in the quarterfinals. Deejay Dallas, who is currently playing in the NFL with the Seattle Seahawks, was Glynn’s quarterback as a senior in that 2016 season. Jonesboro is back in the playoffs this season after not making the postseason a year ago. They had been to the playoffs four straight seasons before missing out last season. The Cardinals, however, have not won a playoff game since the 2015 campaign when they went to the quarterfinals after defeating Thomas County Central and Carrollton in the first two rounds before losing to Cartersville. Glynn senior running back Willie Butler has carried for 918 yards and needs only 82 yards to reach the 1,000-yard mark for the Terrors. The Terrors returned three interceptions for touchdowns last week as they rolled past Lakeside-Evans in a game that included a running clock for the final two quarters. Jonesboro quarterback Jamon Jones, a junior, has thrown for 1,623 yards this season and has completed 15 touchdown passes. Jonesboro quarterbacks have thrown 20 total scoring passes and 12 have been to senior receiver Montez Redding who has 41 total catches for 908 yards on the season. He averages 22.1 yards per reception. Friday’s winner between Glynn and Jonesboro would face the winner of St. Pius X and Thomas County Central next week. The Terrors would have to travel to Thomas County Central, a No. 1 seed, but would play at home against St. Piux, a No. 4 seed.
