GAME PREVIEW CAPSULE: North Stokes at cfa Academy
WHEN: Friday, 7 p.m.
RECORDS: North Stokes 0-5, 0-0 Northwest 1A Conference; cfa Academy 2-3, 0-1 Piedmont Conference
COACHES: North Stokes’ Frank Sessoms is in his first season (0-5); cfa Academy’s Craig Kean is in his sixth season (32-27)
LAST MEETING: This is the teams’ first meeting.
PLAYERS TO WATCH: North Stokes: sophomore quarterback Landon Stevens, senior running back Austyn Garcia, senior defensive/offensive lineman Stevie Daniel; cfa Academy: senior quarterback Mason McLaughlin, senior receiver D’Wayne Crawford, sophomore defensive back Jaylen Gullatte, freshman defensive back Jalen Hinton, junior running back Nick Treco
MATCHUP: Typically, facing a public team would be a tall task for a private school like cfa Academy. However, tonight’s matchup doesn’t feel that way, as cfa Academy enters the game as the favorite, and public North Stokes is not only winless but has yet to be remotely competitive in any of its five losses. On top of this, the Eagle offense has finally begun to click, which was evident in a blowout of Rabun Gap-Nacoochee last week. This game should be another confidence booster for cfa as it gets back to .500 before beginning its final four conference games next week.
