BEARVILLE — Pierce County will get a bigger test Friday night in Quitman against Class AA Brooks County than it did against Alabama’s 2025 Class AA state champion Coosa Christian on the road in Gadsden.
The fourth-ranked Bears (1-0), who moved up six spots in Sunday’s Atlanta Journal Constitution Top 10 poll, cruised to a 55-0 victory scoring all of their points in a record-setting first half in Gadsden, AL, against heavily overmatched Coosa Christian School. Up next is the unranked Trojans (0-1), who fell 49-35 as the No. 8 team in Class AA to Class AAA third-ranked Worth County in their opener in Sylvester. The Rams won the 2025 Class A DI state championship.
Pierce County is looking for a fifth consecutive 2-0 start under eighth-year head coach Ryan Herring and the eighth time in the last nine seasons.
