Even though this is true, we firmly believe that no team has gotten off to as hot of a start as Grayson High School. Entering into week 5 of the high school football season, Grayson has found themselves 4-0, and each win was by no mistake. Each win that Grayson has seen this season, has resulted in more than double the opposing teams points. The final scores are listed as follows: Week 1 (Jones County): 51-13, Week 2 (McEachern): 55-21, Week 3 (Collins Hill) 28-7, Week 4 (Archer) 26-7. As Grayson continues to steamroll opponents, they will hope to eventually enter into even more of a mid-season form, as they will likely see themselves in the playoffs, competing with some of the other top teams throughout the state.
So far, during this 2020 season, Grayson’s star offensive players Phil Mafah Phil Mafah 6'1" | 213 lbs | RB Grayson | 2021 State GA , and Jamal Haynes Jamal Haynes 5'9" | 170 lbs | WR Grayson | 2021 State GA have already had early success. Mafah has totaled 67 rushes, for 613 yards and 8 TD’s, and Haynes has totaled 4 TD’s with 2 being rushing TD’s, and the other 2 being receiving TD’s. Haynes has also totaled 340 all purpose yards so far this season.
As impressive as some of Grayson’s offensive players have been, their defense has shined even brighter. Defensive players A.J. Lopez A.J. Lopez 6'0" | 165 lbs | DB Grayson | 2022 State GA , Jayvian Allen, and Grady Bryant have each already totaled 25 tackles or more. A.J. Lopez A.J. Lopez 6'0" | 165 lbs | DB Grayson | 2022 State GA and Jayvian Allen have each recorded 25 tackles, and Grady Bryant has made a name for himself, totaling 27 tackles. Out of this group, Allen has seen even more success, as he has also totaled 3 interceptions so far this season. With this, players such as Fernando Sanchez III, and Jaidyn Hicks have also made a huge impact, as they have each totaled 4 sacks.
It is clear that Grayson is having a large amount of success for a reason. As they continue on with the rest of the season, you can expect them to have similar defensive success, and for Mafah to rack up a large amount of rushing yards. By the end of the season, you can also expect for them to be ready to make some noise in the playoffs.
