Who will win this matchup?
While the Allatoona Buccaneers have a history of being a strong program, the Holy Innocents Episcopal Golden Bears appear to have the upper hand in this matchup. The Golden Bears have had a fantastic start to their season, with an impressive 2-1 record, including a massive 46-0 shutout victory over Morrow. Their defense has been a major factor in their success, and their ability to score points has been consistent. The Buccaneers, while a formidable opponent, are currently on a two-game losing streak and have struggled to put points on the board in their last two outings. However, Allatoona’s strong rushing game, led by senior Ethan Corpus, could pose a serious threat to the Golden Bears’ defense. Ultimately, Holy Innocents’ momentum and strong defensive play give them a slight edge, but Allatoona’s determination to end their losing streak could make this a much closer game than it seems on paper.
