GUYTON -- Ball-hogging South Effingham couldn't keep Glynn Academy from bringing home some Region 2-AAAAAA bacon Friday night.

The Terrors (4-3, 2-1) had few offensive opportunities in the early going but averaged nearly 12 yards on 14 first-half rushes while building a 21-3 halftime lead. They eventually prevailed 35-3, keeping the Mustangs (0-6, 0-3) winless.

Employing the single wing for the second straight week following an injury to quarterback Alex Cela, the Mustangs had more first downs than Glynn Academy in the initial 24 minutes. South Effingham hurt its cause, however, with a couple first-half fumbles.
