Bethesda reflects on ‘statement’ win over Savannah Christian during open week
Bethesda defeated Savannah Christian, 32-28, last Friday when Bethesda quarterback Jordan Turner threw a touchdown pass with 26 seconds remaining in the contest.
The Bethesda Blazers secured a significant victory over Savannah Christian, 32-28, during an open week, providing their team with an opportunity to reflect on their strong performance. Quarterback Jordan Turner showcased his skills with a critical touchdown pass in the final moments of the game. Senior lineman Steven Mitchell emphasized the impact of this win, noting it sends a powerful statement to those doubting their team's abilities.
This marked the first time Bethesda had faced a GHSA opponent in their 21-year history, a program that typically competes against opponents from the SCISA, which is often perceived as less competitive. Future games against GHSA teams may pose challenges for Bethesda due to changes in the PSR rankings, which do not favor out-of-state wins as much as in-state victories.
The Blazers currently stand at 3-0, with previous wins against Northwood Academy (the reigning SCISA Class 4A champion) and Federica Academy. Their next home game is set for September 11 against Trinity Collegiate.
