  "account": "Savannah Country Day faced Savannah Christian in a homecoming game on September 18, aiming to secure their first win of the season. Coach Joey Blackmore relied on senior running back Thomas Holland, who delivered a standout performance. Holland ran for 129 yards and scored on 29 carries, including a decisive 3-yard touchdown that capped an impressive 80-yard, 14-play drive. This early momentum set the tone for the Raiders' 21-10 victory over the Hornets. Blackmore expressed pride in his team's resilience and ability to score on any play, highlighting Holland's relentless running style. Running back Devin Trawick also contributed with a crucial 27-yard touchdown scramble and 37 rushing yards. Quarterback Devin Trawick's passing game, including a game-changing 18-yard touchdown pass to Jalen Jordan, played a significant role in the game's outcome. Savannah Christian, without their starting quarterback Caden Godbee, relied on senior Jim Massey, who completed 4 of 8 passes for 37 yards, with an interception. The Hornets' defense, led by Wells Headley and William Rhodes, along with Holland and Warren Ward, was instrumental, with a key sack sealing the win.",
