GRIFFIN — Nothing much went right for Statesboro and its football season came to a screeching halt as Griffin stormed past the Blue Devils for a 42-7 win Friday night in the second round of the Class AAAA state playoffs. The Bears (12-0) entered the matchup averaging 44.1 points per game and allowing just 8.2. It was business as usual for Griffin, which outgained Statesboro 453-176 and hardly had to break a sweat over the final two quarters after building a 28-0 halftime lead. “We knew that Griffin was a good team just from watching the tape,” SHS coach Steve Pennington said.
