This October was all about region play and the Glynn Academy Red Terrors are now 8-1 with a game left in the regular season.

This month the Terrors have took on Wayne County, Brunswick High, Richmond Hill, and Effingham. They won all those games and are now Region Champs.

The first game of the month took place on September 30^th against Wayne County.

The Yellow Jackets came into this game winless and with an offense that was occasionally productive.

Deejay Dallas and Kendall Cross again put on a show in the matchup against Wayne. The squad for Jesup was never able to get in the End zone against the Terrors stout defense and Glynn won in a Shutout 34-0.

Up next was the Effingham game but due to Hurricane Matthew and the mandatory evacuation, the game was postponed until October 25^th.

That start of region pay became the City Championship and it had to be moved a day because of the hurricane. So, we got to witness Saturday Night Lights in Glynn County Stadium against the Brunswick High Pirates.

Brunswick High and Glynn Academy has always been a great rivalry. This night was no different as Shawn Smith took the opening kickoff back for a touchdown.

Glynn was without their starting kicker but the depth behind him shined in a lot of places.

John Henry Butler became the PAT kicker and didn’t miss a kick. Andrew Delaney, the starting Tight End, also had a 45-yard punt that pinned BHS inside the 5.

The defense gave up a lot of points to a talented BHS squad but this high-powered Glynn Academy offense has been hard to stop. Glynn won in a close one 35-28.

Up next Glynn had to face an Undefeated Richmond Hill squad at Richmond Hill. Now I must say this game worried me a little bit. Before this game, 17 points was the most anyone had scored on Richmond hill.

Glynn ended up winning the game 57-27. The most points scored under Rocky Hidalgo and almost the first time that we have had three 100 yard rushers.

Glynn, as a team, rushed for 517 yards and passed for 166 yards. That’s 683 total yards, believed to be a school record.

The final game of the month was against Effingham. The hurricane-rescheduled football game took place on a Tuesday night.

It almost felt weird doing a game on Tuesday night at Glynn County Stadium. This Glynn team didn’t seem to mind though. The Terrors picked up where they had left off!

After a 4-day turnaround, the Terrors still looked fresh and dominated this game from the first snap. Glynn again almost had 3 100-yard rushers. We even got to see Randon Jernigan at quarterback.

The Terrors shut out another team this month with the 48-0 win over Effingham.

This Glynn Academy Red Terrors team somehow keeps improving every week and looks to be a state title contender in 6A football.

The option offense has become so deadly and consistent for Glynn Academy and the defense has played their hearts out all season long.

They have one regular season game left against Bradwell. After that game starts the playoffs and what looks to be a deep playoff run for the Terrors.

The Terrors have wrapped up their second region title in a row.
