Week 9 Team of the Week: Statesboro

Statesboro hasn’t won a region title since 2011, and capturing one this season is still three victories away But without last week’s 28-21 victory over Brunswick – a 23-point favorite – the elusive championship would be out of the Blue Devils’ control.

Now, Statesboro can win Region 1-5A with victories over Evans, South Effingham and Effingham County.

“Playing in big, meaningful games in October and beyond is something that is earned through a lot of hard work,” Statesboro coach Matt Dobson said. “Nobody gives those opportunities away, but our players, staff, administration, school and community have earned that right.”

Statesboro is GHSF Daily’s Team of the Week. The award is sponsored by BSN Sports and Siemens.
