The Glynn Academy Red Terrors got some good news before they ever even took the field Friday night against Ware County.
The Red Terrors were awarded with a forfeit win over Fort Dorchester. Glynn played Fort Dorchester in week one and took a 37-21 loss to the Patriots.
The governing body of athletics for the state of South Carolina deemed that Fort Dorchester had been playing with an ineligible player and would be required to forfeit all games the ineligible player had participated in.
Thus, the loss Glynn had to the Patriots became a 1-0 win due to the forfeit. The forfeit improved the Red Terrors’ record from 2-2 to 3-1 heading into the game with rival, Ware County.
Glynn Academy had won 5 straight against Ware and had not lost to their rival since 2014.
Ware County was coming off a bye week and was looking to regain control of the series; the Gators had owned the Red Terrors for over a decade before Glynn started its streak.
The Gators came into the Glynn game at 3-1, with their only loss to archrival Coffee County by a touchdown.
However, the first half would not be kind to the Red Terrors. Ware would punt on their first possession of the game and then score touchdowns on their next three possessions.
The Gators would miss 2 extra points and went into the locker room at the half up 19-0 over Rocky Hidalgo’s Red Terrors.
The Terrors would answer to start the second half. Glynn put together a solid drive and would punch the ball into the end zone on a 2-yard run by QB TJ Lewis. The Terrors would have the PAT blocked but would get to within 2 score 19-6.
The Gators would immediately answer. Ware would score a long TD on the very next play for a 26-6 lead.
Ware County would go into “clock kill” mode on offense and eventually salted away the clock.
Ware would come away with a 26-6 win. The loss is the 2nd in a row for the Red Terrors and their record falls to 3-2.
Glynn Academy will travel to Kingsland next week to take on the Camden County Wildcats. Camden is 3-1 on the season.
