The victory avenged last year’s 6-3 win by Archer, which entered the game ranked No. 74 in our national rankings that are created with our proprietary algorithm.
J’Kori Jones was 9-of-13 passing for 209 yards and four touchdowns for Grayson, which improves to 5-2 overall and 2-0 in the region. Archer is also 5-2, but 1-1 in the region.
With three remaining region games against opponents with sub-.500 records, the Rams should cruise to the regional title.
