Grovetown made a statement on Friday night, pulling away in the second half to defeat rival Evans 42–7.
The Warriors struck first, jumping out to a 7–0 lead before tacking on another touchdown late in the second quarter to make it 14–0. Evans quickly answered with a kickoff return for a score, trimming the deficit to 14–7 at halftime.
From there, Grovetown took complete control. The Warriors found the end zone four more times after the break, while their defense smothered the Knights and kept them off the scoreboard for the remainder of the night.
With the win, Grovetown improved to 2–1 on the season and will travel to Thomson next Friday. Evans, still searching for its first victory at 0–2, will look to bounce back on the road against Lakeside.
