The Bulloch Academy Gators begin their playoff run on Thursday at Gator Alley when they host the Savannah Country Day Hornets. The game is set to kick off at 7:00 p.m. The Gators finished the regular season with a 9-1 record and are seeded No. 2 in the GIAA Class AAAA state playoffs. They take on a familiar foe in the Hornets. The two teams faced off earlier in the season, and the Gators took home a dominant 34-7 victory. The ground game proved to be unstoppable as Bulloch Academy ran for five touchdowns on the night. Head Coach Aaron Phillips emphasized the importance of execution heading into the rematch, knowing that defeating the same opponent twice in one season can be challenging. "It's hard to play anybody twice. It doesn't matter if you won 100 to nothing. It's just hard to do it twice," Phillips said. "We've really preached to our kids about execution. We're the two seed, they're seven. They're not supposed to win, so they're playing with house money. It's up to us to do our job and what we're supposed to do. If we do those things, then I like our chances." More in the Tank
