Statesboro High School’s season ended Nov. 13 with a 49-34 loss to Richmond Academy in the opening round of the Class 5A state playoffs in Augusta.
ARC held a 13-7 halftime lead. Two Statesboro turnovers to begin the third quarter became scores, and Richmond Academy was ahead 35-14 after the period.
The Blue Devils scored again in the fourth quarter but could not make up the difference. Coach Matt Dobson said the early third-quarter turnovers were costly and praised the team’s response.
Statesboro finished 7-4, putting together back-to-back winning seasons for the first time in more than 10 years.
