The No. 7 Grayson Rams (3-0) will have to do it without 4-star quarterback Travis Burgess for the rest of the season, and that was easier said than done last week in a hard-fought 24-23 overtime win over the No. 14 Thompson [Alabaster, AL] Warriors.
The game was The Sporting News High School Football Game of the Week, and the fact Grayson beat a national Top 25 team without their star has given the Rams and their fans hope that their dreams of a national title aren't yet out of reach.
They'll get another big test when North Carolina's mighty Mallard Creek [Charlotte, NC] Mavericks (2-0) come to town in one of TSN National Week 4's premier interstate matchups.
Grayson's win over Thompson marked the second straight season the Rams have beaten the Warriors in overtime.
And Mallard Creek's 2-0 start pushed them into the Top 100 in some rankings, including MaxPreps, where the Mavericks sport the No. 96 ranking in the country.
