The Statesboro Blue Devils (4-5, 3-4) squandered three chances in the Effingham red zone including two turnovers which proved costly as the Blue Devils playoff chances took a serious hit with a 28-6 loss at Effingham County Friday night. “I am proud of our guys for battling but we just couldn’t finish drives,” said coach Matt Dobson. “We have been really good in the red-zone but we just struggled tonight. Two turnovers when we got close really hurt us. There’s a couple calls I wish I could have back. We fought till the end but just couldn’t get it done tonight.”
