The John’s Creek Gladiators defeated the Habersham Central Raiders Friday night at John’s Creek, 42-14. The homecoming win for the Gladiators was their first of the season and the team’s first win in 19 games. Both teams went into the game winless. The Raiders now have lost 21 consecutive games.
Although the Raiders went into Friday’s game stronger statistically – with more rushing yards, passing yards, tackles and points per game – they just couldn’t hold off the Gladiators’ home team momentum. The Raiders got on the board first early in the first quarter but John’s Creek answered quickly and stayed ahead of the Raiders the rest of the night.
Last night’s loss drops the Raiders to 0-8 on the season, 0-7 in regional play.
The team still has a chance to pull out a win. There are two games left in the regular season. The Raiders return home to John Larry Black Field in Mt. Airy next Friday, Oct. 31, for a Halloween matchup against North Forsyth. Game time is 7:30pm. The game will be carried live on WCON 99.3 FM radio beginning at 7pm.
