Key Matchup Analysis

• Offensive Balance: Brunswick’s ability to dominate both the ground and air will challenge Coffee’s defense, which has been strong against the run. The Pirates’ diverse attack will test the Trojans’ secondary.
• Defensive Standoff: Coffee’s defense, which has allowed just 156 points this season, will face its toughest challenge against Brunswick’s explosive offense. Conversely, Brunswick’s defense must contain Tyrese Woodgett’s ground game.
• Playoff Pressure: Both teams enter with momentum, having secured playoff wins last week. Coffee’s experience in high-stakes games will meet Brunswick’s undefeated region dominance.

What to Watch

1. Big Plays from Grant Moore: Brunswick’s quarterback is a game-changer. If Moore finds rhythm early, Coffee will struggle to contain the Pirates.
2. Tyrese Woodgett’s Impact: Coffee’s hopes rest on Woodgett’s ability to break big runs and control the clock.
3. Turnovers: With evenly matched records, the game could come down to a few critical mistakes.

Prediction

This game is poised to be a clash of styles: Coffee’s physical, ground-based attack versus Brunswick’s high-octane offense. If Brunswick can jump out to an early lead, their offensive firepower and home-field advantage might prove too much for the Trojans.

Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. at Brunswick High. Fans can expect a playoff battle that showcases two of Georgia’s top Class 5A programs.
