Graham Red Devils (0-2)

The Red Devils have struggled early, being outscored 58-32 across two games, but they’ve shown flashes of promise offensively. Dual-threat athlete Ja’den Hamlet is the engine of the offense, averaging 106 total yards per game between passing and rushing. WR Dytavious Spencer has emerged as a steady target, while the defense is still searching for consistency after giving up nearly 30 points per game. For Graham to compete, Hamlet will need to deliver a big night while the defense limits explosive plays.
