The 2025 season is in the books for the Glynn Academy Red Terrors.

Jackson County ended the season with a first round romp over the Terrors.

The top seeded Panthers moved to 10-1 on the season and the fourth seeded Terrors take a long bus ride home ending at 6-5.

Looking back, it truly is a season of ups and downs for Glynn. I had predicted at the first of the year that the Red and White had a great chance to go 7-3 or 8-2 on the season.

Well, as the saying goes ‘close…….. but no cigar’.

Glynn dropped three games by 7, 4, and 3 points. It’s the difference between a winning season that the Terrors are very used to under Rocky Hidalgo and a very good season which was oh so close.

Let’s take a look back at the crazy wacky season that was Red Terror football in 2025.

Wayne County and Richmond Hill started the season for the Terrors. They split these first two games.

They take down Wayne County as expected 38-14 in the season opener and then stepped up in class and dropped a 21-0 game to a very tough Richmond Hill squad.

Next up was the shocker…… Glynn traveled to Hinesville to take on the Bradwell Institute Tigers. The Red Terrors have more infractions and yellow flags thrown at them than some of the inmates down the road in Reidsville and lost their second game 35-28.

How they committed a dozen or so penalties in the second half is beyond me. Bradwell finished the season 2-7. I could go on but it is what it is.

Next up was the Statesboro Blue Devils and the Terrors took care of business 36-8. Funny that the next week Statesboro took care of Bradwell 38-28. I could go on….

The Red Terrors took out Lakeside the next week and put 54 points on the board in a 54-28 victory.

Next is the City Championship game with the Brunswick High Pirates. Besides the Bradwell loss, here is the stunner.

Glynn led and controlled the game for three quarters and looked to close out the Pirates; driving down to the Brunswick goal line to really put the game away when they fumbled inside the Brunswick 3-yard line.

Brunswick proceeded to score, and score, and score in the fourth quarter and came back to take down the Terrors 41-37.  It truly was a heartbreaker for the Terrors who gave up over 300 yards passing with much of it in the last terrible 12 minutes.

To the Terrors credit they bounced back and took 3 of the next 4 games.

They beat Evans, South Effingham, and Greenbrier and lost only to Effingham in a close one 45-42.

Glynn ended the regular season 6-4 and the region 4^th seed.

After the long bus ride to Jackson County the Red Terrors failed to really get off the bus and gave up big plays and fumbled their way to a season ending loss.

The Terrors finished 6-5 on the year.

Looking ahead to 2026 the Red Terrors should be solid.

They played a large number of sophomores and juniors.

Back on offense will be 7 or 8 starters and 6 on defense plus Patrick Coyle with the kicking duties.

Terror fans are looking forward to seeing Max Noonan progress and get better at quarterback.

The junior to be had a solid first season and gives the Red Terrors a solid foundation on offense. Add in Caiden Robinson, Grant Ferrell, Zamir Bell, Ian Pomiechowski and others and the Terrors should be solid on offense.

Defensively the Terrors will return 6 starters including Cooper Reiss, Kori Roman, Sam Ricks, Cam Cleghorn, Aaden Ward, Amari Moore and several youngsters who got valuable playing time.

The key here will be restocking the DBs.

All in all, the Red Terrors look to be in good shape moving forward after another winning season on the Southside.
