Weekend Pigskin Roundup: Kell Blasts Pope

Kell 33, Pope 7 – Sure, Pope’s starting quarterback is recovering from a broken hand and the Greyhounds are without their top receiver, but Kell’s offense still put up 33 points against Pope’s starting defense, head coach Derek Cook told the Marietta Daily Journal.

East Paulding 31, Sprayberry 0 – It’s never a good feeling to lose, but the Yellow Jackets should take some solace in the fact that East Paulding has blanked three other teams this season thus far. The Raiders have a stifling defense that’s allowed just 15 points all season.
