Statesboro outgained Evans by a 271-230 margin, but costly turnovers and untimely penalties proved to be its undoing as the Blue Devils dropped a 20-15 heartbreaker that came down to the final seconds Friday night at Womack Field. Trailing for much of the game, Statesboro recorded a safety with a little over six minutes to play to pull within five points of the Knights, but couldn’t capitalize on its next drive and saw a final possession reach the Evans 15 before a holding penalty stalled the drive, which ended with a turnover on downs. “These were two evenly matched teams,” said SHS coach Steve Pennington.
