Statesboro and Wayne County both had to try and overcome injuries Friday night in Jesup. The Jackets lost starting quarterback Jeb Craven in the first quarter, and after starting the game Statesboro lost quarterback Bruce Yawn early in the second quarter. Arguably the biggest loss for the Blue Devils was starting center and long snapper Mathis Lanier who left with a serious arm injury in the second quarter.
