Calvary Day just rolled over Screven County with a dominant 42-7 victory, moving them to an 8-1 overall record and a perfect 4-0 in region play. This wasn’t just another win, folks; it was a statement. Quarterback James Mobley IV was absolutely slinging it, going 20 of 24 for 263 yards and three touchdowns, with only one interception. The offense was humming, and now they’re heading into a massive cross-town showdown for the region title.
Cavs’ Offense and Defense Are Just Unstoppable Right Now
Look, Mobley IV wasn’t doing it alone. Jalen Hicks pulled down six receptions for 90 yards, Ty Pinckney had six grabs for 35 yards and a score, and Georgia Southern commit Marlon Knight Jr. snagged four catches for 72 yards and a touchdown. Jonathan Perry also added three receptions for 58 yards and a score. The passing game was lethal, no doubt. But then you look at Ca’Den Jones. The senior running back went off, carving up the defense for a career-high 179 yards and three touchdowns on just 12 carries! Zay Middleton chipped in with 51 yards on seven carries. That kind of balanced attack is just impossible to stop.
And the defense? Forget about it. Senior lineman Buddy Curry was an absolute menace, racking up four tackles and 3.5 sacks by himself, contributing to a massive 7.5 sacks for the Cavs on the night. Screven County barely stood a chance. This team is firing on all cylinders, and now they are set to host Savannah Christian, who also sits at 4-0 in region play, with the region title hanging in the balance next Friday, November 6. You want high stakes? That’s it right there.
Region Titles and Playoff Dreams Taking Shape
Across the area, other teams were making their own moves. Bradwell continued their hot streak, grabbing their fourth straight win over Grovetown and putting up big numbers on the scoreboard. South Effingham took care of business at home against Glynn Academy with a 19-11 victory, all but sealing their playoff berth. Sophomore quarterback Liam Coburn had himself a day for the Mustangs, throwing for 159 yards on 9 of 17 passing with two touchdown passes and adding a scoring run. Jackson McClure was Coburn’s favorite target, hauling in four receptions for 94 yards and both scores, including a massive 66-yard touchdown pass. Khyran White and Josh Mims added some solid rushing yards too. South Effingham sits at No. 22 in the GHSA’s Class 6A Post Season Ranking; with the top 32 making the playoffs, they are looking good.
Benedictine absolutely rolled over Groves on Thursday night, setting themselves up for a road trip to face Ware County for the Region 1-5A title. And reigning state champion Bethesda used a strong second half to down First Baptist, clinching yet another region title, which is just what you expect from a champion. Effingham County was hoping to clinch the Region 1-6A title themselves, but a loss to Brunswick means they still need a win over Greenbrier next week to lock it up.
So what’s next? Everything! Calvary Day hosts Savannah Christian for the region crown next Friday. Benedictine hits the road to battle Ware County for their region title. South Effingham closes out their regular season against Bradwell, and Effingham County has to win out against Greenbrier to secure their own region championship. This isn’t just football, folks, this is what early November is all about. Get ready, because it’s going to be wild.
