Team Breakdown
Archer (4-7) enters the game with a challenging record but has had its share of strong performances this season. The Tigers are coming off a .364 win percentage with a 3-3 region record. Despite their overall struggles, Archer has shown resilience, averaging 29.7 points per game. The offense is led by dynamic quarterback Jordan Do, who has accumulated 218.6 passing yards per game and 70.7 rushing yards per game. His ability to both pass and run makes him a dual threat on the field, contributing significantly to the Tigers’ 375.3 total yards per game.
On defense, Archer faces challenges, allowing 387 points this season, with 44.5 tackles per game and 1.4 sacks per game. The team’s defense will need to step up significantly to compete against West Forsyth’s potent offense.
West Forsyth (8-3), on the other hand, enters the game as the stronger team, with a .727 win percentage and a 5-2 region record. With an offense averaging 30.6 points per game, the Wolverines are solid on both sides of the ball. Foster Orris leads the offense with 171.7 passing yards per game, while Max Walraven contributes 196.5 total yards per game. The Wolverines’ rushing game is also strong, with 196.0 rushing yards per game, led by Foster Orris and the running back corps.
Defensively, West Forsyth boasts a much tighter unit. They allow only 180 points on the season, with an average of 73.0 tackles per game and 2.4 sacks per game. This defense will be crucial in limiting the impact of Archer’s potent playmaker, Jordan Do.
Key Matchup: Offense vs. Defense
One of the key matchups to watch in this game will be West Forsyth’s defense against Archer’s high-powered offense. Archer has been averaging 29.7 points per game and will need a strong performance from Jordan Do, who is a major contributor both in the air and on the ground. West Forsyth’s defense, which has given up only 180 points on the season, will need to contain Do and prevent big plays to secure a win.
Additionally, West Forsyth’s balanced offensive attack will test Archer’s defense. The Wolverines’ ability to both pass and run the ball effectively could prove too much for the Tigers, especially considering their struggles on defense.
Conclusion
This game promises to be an exciting playoff matchup. West Forsyth has the edge with a stronger record, better defensive numbers, and a well-rounded offense. However, Archer’s ability to create big plays, particularly through Jordan Do, could make them dangerous in this postseason clash.
The winner of this game will advance in the 2024 GHSA Class 6A Playoffs, adding extra weight to every play as both teams fight for a chance to continue their playoff run. The game kicks off today at 7:00 p.m. at West Forsyth High School.
