Bryan County losing to Prince Avenue Christian in the semifinals of the GHSA Class A-D1 state playoffs last Friday did not come as a surprise. Nor did the 49-14 score. The Wolverines entered the game as the defending state champions and as a heavy favorite. Prince Avenue had been beating opponents by an average score of 45-15 so the score they hung up on the Redskins was about par for the course. The surprise to nearly everyone outside of North Bryan County—and even some of those folks probably found it hard to believe—was that Bryan County was one of the four teams still alive in the championship race.
