It was only the first game of the season for both schools, but Statesboro and Liberty County looked to be in midseason form as they gave the crowd at the Devil’s Den a show Saturday evening. Jaylan Patrick scored 16 points for the Blue Devils (1-0) in his first career start and Statesboro connected on its final seven free throws as the Devils earned a hard-fought 68-66 victory. “It was a good game,” SHS coach Lee Hill said.
